...Heel. Mellow. An increasing number of veterinarians are prescribing human psychiatric medications for dogs and cats with behavior problems. The drugs have not yet been specifically approved for this purpose by the FDA, although the practice is legal.

The grilled chicken, roasted red pepper, mozzarella, romano (their best seller at $8 or $15) was a bigger hit. A healthy dash of chive oil finishes it off and really helps bring together the sizable chunks of chicken breast, well-roasted red peppers and sea of melted cheese...
