GentleLake Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 L-theanine's been mentioned a couple times recently to calm dogs. Does anyone have dosing information? Thanks. roxanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howling Farmer Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I can't remember the dose per pound, but the dose for my 36 lb. guy was 100 mg, twice a day. I may be remembering this wrong, but I think you have to be careful to select a brand that doesn't have something bad in it for dogs. I got mine from Swansons -- Suntheanine. A lot of folks seem to have had good success with it, but I didn't really notice a difference with Tucker. I actually questioned whether it made him barkier, but I can't say for sure. Best of luck.

Maralynn Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Kipp is 28# and I've given him a 100mg capsule for thunderstorm anxiety. Last time we had storms go through I gave him L-theanine instead of valium and it seemed to work just as well. He was relaxed and happy, instead of tense, pacing and trying to hide. I take it as well from time to time - if my mind is racing amd just won't turn off at night or if I'm keyed up studying for something and getting overwhelmed/can't focus. It really does seem to make a difference. I get the NOW brand from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Thanks so much, both of you. I'll get some the next time I'm putting in an order from Swanson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
