Although not approved by the FDA for use in animals, Klonopin is considered safe for canines, and is given as a prescription from veterinarians. It is used for treatment of anxiety and sometimes for seizures.

The dose range for clonazepam (klonopin) is 0.05 to 0.25 mg per pound (0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg) orally every 8 hours, but the amount that should be given to a specific animal can only be determined by a vet.

Yes cats can take klonopin. They can take any benzodiazepine. It won't kill it or anything, just make it a little chilled out and maybe it'll wobble when walking. The same effects it has on humans :) Dosages vary but as a matter of fact I just gave my kitty 2.5mg of Valium and she's ok she's jus chillin out and has an increased appetite. The level at which it becomes toxic to the point of death is nearly impossible because you'd have to feed it your whole bottle, maybe more. So...yes, you CAN give your cat any benzo just make sure you give him/her a small dosage. S/he will be fine!

What dose of Klonopin can you give a dog for prednisone-induced insomnia and nervousness?

I am assuming that your dog is under a Veterinarian's care? Go to your Vet and advise him or her of the problems you are having and that way your Vet can adjust the dosages of Pred that he is giving. Why would you ask this question on the internet, go to your Veterinarian.

Does it take Klonopin longer to get in your body than xanax does?

The best I can tell you on that one is....klonopin is a longer acting benzo although xanax does seem to work better for me...for instance,I've been on xanax for 10 years,in my 3 pregnancies I was switched to klonopin...so,I wish I could give you a yes/no answer but I can't....just that xanax is stronger but not as long "acting" as klonopin
