I was told today that they're the same ingredients. He said, "valium is valium". No, neither one of us are druggies. I just don't like to fly and Valium gets me through it. I hate going to the doc for medication for flying. Does anybody know for sure?

I'd go for the real one which is Ace that you get at the vet. That's what an owner did with her 80# Bully that fought people over nail cutting. We had to start with giving the dog Ace, making SURE the dog couldn't bite, making SURE the dog couldn't escape, & using a dremel. Now ... the dog has to be given zero Ace & the owner can do it herself no problem. It IS possible to desensitize the dog & teach the dog to allow you to do it. The owner couldn't have accomplished the ability to do this to her dog though without the experienced help of her groomer (who is also a dog trainer - very handy combo). Anyway, dogs have an instinct to protect their limbs. In the wild, to protect & defend its territory, one dog would have to fight another. The fight involved each dog trying to break a leg of the other. The looser, with a broken leg can no longer hunt, therefore starves, therefore dies. All dogs know this, even domestic ones. It's an instinct ingrained into them ... they are born with it. They don't know why they resist nail clipping, they just know they must. Desensitizing a dog for this involves understanding why the dog is doing it, being able to safely control the dog, then effectively balancing its stress level while getting the work done ... no talking, no babying, no treating. This is a serious matter for your dog, so you have to take it just as. Your dog won't recognize anything but body language. When they are stressed like that, their hearing minimizes, their other senses intensify. Do not let the dog smell blood (quick the dog) & know what you are doing ... your dog will build trust on that, learning to allow. Be consistant & be the leader.

yes, valium for dogs is the same thing as valium for humans. the only difference is the dosage - the dosage for dogs is significantly less than the dosage for humans. be sure and talk to your veterinarian first about how much to give your dog and i'm sure your vet will be ok with this. i know of a few vets who have had dogs and their owners who are both diabetic, and the vets let the owners give their dogs shots of their own insulin, as long as they follow the vet's dosage orders.
oh wait, so if it's you that's taking your dog's valium...then i would be sure to talk to your doctor first so that you can take the right dosage!

Yes, it would be the same except for the dosage. A dog would have less recommended dosage than a person, especially if the dog is a toy breed.

Yes, it is the same thing. They give it to animals when you're moving and stuff like that.
