Hi Sara. I can only speak about my own experiences — everyone reacts differently (to some extent). Even if I took a heavy dose, I believe I would be able to take care of a few dogs — provided that they’re not super needy and relatively well-adjusted. And if I took only a moderate dose, there would absolutely be no problem at all. My guess is that your dogs would be aware that you are in a very interesting state, and if anything, they would be very good companions.
