### Why Script Unlock beats Chewy for Gabapentin in cats

Critical for cats: commercial human gabapentin oral solution contains xylitol (toxic to cats). ScriptUnlock compounding pharmacies prepare xylitol-free flavored liquid. Chewy carries only the human commercial product.

## Clinical notes — Gabapentin for cats

Gabapentin is the standard pre-veterinary-visit anxiolytic in cats at 50–100 mg PO 1–3 hours before transport. Also used for chronic pain (osteoarthritis) at 5–10 mg/kg PO every 12h.

### ⚠️ CAUTION

Commercial human gabapentin oral solution contains xylitol — must use xylitol-free compounded version for cats.


### Compounded formulation note

Compounded xylitol-free tuna- or chicken-flavored liquid suspensions are the safe form for cats.
