PROIN ER (phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride extended-release tablets) for Dogs, 74-mg, 30 tablets

Fawn most likely had a nerve knicked during spay surgery at a shelter, she’s the second rescue thats happened to in my life. So I have to give her proin daily to control it. Its fantastic! Shes really deep and shy and peeing herself is very obviously embarrassing to her, when she wales up wet she will jump up and go hide. My poor girl. When we give her proin every night before bed she has zero accidents. The only problem is dosing with this medication. Shes an 80lb white German Shepherd and supposedly her dose is 145mg, but the vet said with this med its trial and error till you get the dose right. And he was right!! But remember I buy the extended release so its a bit higher - but I take a 145mg pill and cut it into 6 small pieces! All she needs is one - so her actual dose is about 25mg. When I gave her the whole 145mg the first day by the doctors orders, Fawn couldnt get up, couldnt walk, couldnt eat or drink or even open her eyes bc her third eyelid was sooo exposed. It was terrifying and we immediately cut the pills up to give her the smallest dose possible and that ended up being about 25mg. So yes it works, she’s still a baby and will need to take this for life, just like our previous German Shepherd who lived on it daily for 14 years. Side effects could include weight gain so exercise is a must.

Our 7 month old puppy unfortunately has spay incontinence and this pill has worked a miracle. We initially tried alternative medicines like nutrivet bladder control and incurin, but those only worked 70% of the time. Our dog wasn’t initially approved for Proin due to high blood pressure, but has since gotten that under control. Proin has worked for her 100% of the time since her first pill. I don’t think one medication is necessarily better than the other, but rather has to do with your individual dog’s condition and needs. I’ve heard incurin worked best for other dogs so it really all depends on your dog. If you’re dealing with a similar issue I say you give this pill a try. We haven’t noticed any side effects with this medication.

Proin absolutely worked but it came with side effects for sure. I have a 14 year old mix that has some liver failure. Proin caused my dog to have high blood pressure, constant panting, constant pacing, which resulted in destructive behavior. She could never settle down and couldn't rest. She kept us up all night. She would walk through the house at night and get onto anything and everything. Note that she was on proin for 1.5 months. It became so bad that we had to start closing our bedroom door. She would bump her head against our door, constantly chew on her bed, very strange behavior. Im not saying not to try it because every dog is different but for us, the incontinence was better than the side effects. We consulted a holistic vet which was cheaper than you'd think and we started chinese concentrated crystal stone. As we weened her off the proin, we added the concentrated crystal stone and it worked. The other symptoms went away. She sleeps through the night, doesn't pant, and is more relaxed. She's been on the holistic meds for two weeks and so far so good. She rests well, no panting, and it doesn't impact her kidneys and liver the way proin does. I should also point out that the proin cost me 100 bucks for 30 days and the crystal stone is about 60. You have options but ultimately, it depends on your dogs reaction.

Ordering medication from the Chewy pharmacy and having them collaborate with my Newfoundland dog’s Veterinarian has been a great decision. The communication is always clear and concise, the prices are much more cost effective and the ordering is fast and easy. The best part is I have the meds on auto ship so the shipping is free and it’s worry free. I have my Newfie’s meds delivered to my door at a much lower cost than my Veterinarian can get them to me for and there are no hassles just because I went online to get the order. The medications my Newfie takes ante still the same exact medications offered by his Veterinarian and are both doing a great job for my Newfs issues. Best part of the order, every now and then, a toy and/or a treat might just show up in the box for my big guy!
