How Melatonin Works

In humans, dogs, and other animals, melatonin plays an important role in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin is naturally produced by the body in the pineal system. In healthy animals, peak production of melatonin naturally occurs after sunset. Melatonin signals to the body both time of day and season (length of night). However natural production decreases as we and our pets age. This is one reason older people and pets find it difficult to get quality sleep or to sleep for as many hours as when we were younger.

Directions for Dogs

The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine recommends, and the late Dr. Jack Oliver, DVM, former Chairman of UofT’s Veterinary Endocrinology Department, recommended:

• 3 mg of melatonin (1/2 capsule) every 12 hours for dogs under 30 lbs.
• 6 mg of melatonin (1 capsule) every 12 hours for dogs over 30 lbs.
• 1 mg of melatonin (you may open the capsule) every 12 hours may be recommended for dogs 10 lbs. or less, or for those who want to give their dogs very low doses of melatonin.
