I think it depends on the circumstances--some dogs, like MinPins and poodles, are natually spazzy and most owners know that. I don't believe that dogs should be medicated to make life more "convenient" for their owners. But, in the event that the dog has experienced something out of the ordinary, I don't see a problem with medication for anxiety issues given the dog hasn't shown symptoms of larger issues.
Does that make sense? One friend's dog was denied food before he was abandoned and adopted, and now gets really crazy around food time. A medication to calm him down and get him to eat all of his food doesn't seem too wacky.
