Contra -indications

Adverse reactions
Trials have shown that some dominant dogs, with behavioural disorders but no signs of aggression, may become aggressive after treatment. Those previously showing aggression may have this enhanced. Appropriate training is essential in such cases.
Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
It is recommended to stop the treatment during pregnancy and lactation.
Special precautions for use in animals
Emotional disorders can mask hierarchical conflicts. In dominant dogs suffering from an emotional disorder, the alleviation of the disorder can sometimes reveal a latent aggressiveness. In such cases, behavioural therapy must be instituted.
