Overview
Melatonin 3mg is a veterinary-use supplement designed to support behavioral and physiological health in dogs and cats. It mimics the natural hormone produced by the pineal gland, helping regulate sleep-wake cycles, reduce anxiety, and manage certain dermatological and reproductive conditions. Melatonin is especially useful for pets experiencing sleep disturbances, noise phobias, or seasonal alopecia. Though not FDA-approved for veterinary use, it is widely prescribed off-label under veterinary supervision.
