Dog breeds and medication differences: Acepromazine
There is such a big difference between dog breeds that we shouldn’t be surprised there are differences in how breeds respond to medications. For example, the tranquilizing drug acepromazine (Ace), which is prescribed for anxiety, may calm some Labradors, but it doesn’t seem to do much for Jack Russells, Westies, Scotties, and other terriers. On the other hand, Ace has such a strong effect that it is not a good drug for Greyhounds, Mastiffs, Irish Wolfhounds, Great Danes, and other large-breed dogs. Knowing which medications are helpful and which are harmful for your pets makes it easier to take good care of them.
