 | | Clomipramine has been recommended,3,7 but, to the authors' knowledge, there are no reports of rigorous clinical studies on the use of clomipramine for treatment of a variety of canine compulsive behaviors. |
 | | Clomipramine appeared to be associated with sedation, decreased appetite, and frequency of defecation, and increased water consumption and frequency of urination (Table 1). |
 | | Clomipramine in dogs has a short elimination half-life and marked inter-dog variability.22 Inter-subject variability is a characteristic of clomipramine in human beings,27 and monitoring of drug concentration in patients is recommended.26 Such monitoring is impractical in dogs, but the dose rate for individual dogs could be established empirically. |
