Sertraline for Dogs and Cats

  • Sertraline, commonly known as Zoloft, is used to treat aggression, fearful behaviors, and anxiety-related behaviors in dogs and cats.
  • Behavioral disorders in dogs and cats are a frequent reason for veterinary visits. Unacceptable or dangerous animal behavior problems are also a common grounds for euthanasia.
  • Recently, veterinarians have placed greater emphasis on animal training and behavior modification, and specialists working in the field of animal behavior have increasingly adopted drugs used in human behavior modification for animal use. Sertraline is one of these drugs.
  • Sertraline works by blocking serotonin receptors.
  • Sertraline is an antidepressant that is chemically unrelated to other antidepressants. It is best known by its trade name, Zoloft®.
  • Sertraline is considered to be a very safe drug.
  • This drug is not approved for use in animals by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but it is prescribed legally by veterinarians as an extra-label drug.

  • In dogs, sertraline is used to treat aggression, fear-based behaviors (such as storm phobia/noise phobias), anxiety-based behaviors (such as separation anxiety) and compulsive disorders (such as acral lick dermatitis/lick granuloma and compulsive tail chasing).
  • In cats, sertraline is used to treat aggression, excessive fearfulness, urine marking (urine spraying), and compulsive behaviors (such as psychogenic alopecia, tail chasing and woolsucking/pica).
