Pexion offers a different, more measured form of relief. It acts as a low affinity partial agonist at the benzodiazepines site if the GABA (A) receptor, working with the brain’s own calming system rather than overwhelming it. For the prescriber, it’s a reliable choice for the predictable noise events, such as annual fireworks or local festivals. Clinical studies show that twice as many dogs improved on Pexion compared with the placebo, and many returned to near -normal behavior within days. The standard dose (30mg/kg) twice daily, starting two days before the expected event, provides steady, even coverage through the period of stress. Side effects are usually gentle and short-lived, mild ataxia, increased appetite, or sleepiness, which resolves as the dog adjusts. Unlike classic benzodiazepines, Pexion does not trigger dependency or sudden rebound anxiety, making it particularly suited for repeated seasonal use.
