Sodium pentathol—commonly known as "truth serum", is an ultra-short-acting barbiturate that depresses the central nervous system, slows heart rate, and lowers blood pressure. Since it is redistributed to fat, certain breeds of dogs, it can have prolonged recoveries from thiopental due to their lack of body fat and lean body mass. Oral sedation drugs like Acepromazine, Diazepam, Alprazolam, etc can be used

Yup...Truth serum mixed with a bit of chloroform is given to doggies :)
