Medications and Your Pet - Pet Care Information

When you have a pet it’s like having a toddler in the home! Prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications need to be kept safely away from pets.

The Animal Poison Control Center has issued a warning on medications containing pseudoephedrine, an ingredient that can be found in over-the-counter medications intended to provide relief for cold, sinus and allergy symptoms. The APCC warns that a single pill could have a noticeable effect on a small dog, and three tablets could be fatal.
The warning is a good reason to remember that all medications — prescription, over-the-counter and herbal alike — should be stored where pets cannot to them, and should never be given to any animal without checking with your veterinarian first.

If your pet gets into any medication by accident, get hold of a veterinarian immediately. A wait-and-see approach is never a good idea, and it might cost your pet his life.
