Here's why:
* Different dosages: Dogs and humans metabolize medications differently. A dose that's safe for a human can be toxic or fatal to a dog.
* Different ingredients: Some medications that are safe for humans contain ingredients that are harmful to dogs.
* Potential for allergic reactions: Dogs can have allergic reactions to medications that humans tolerate.
What to do:
* Consult your veterinarian: The best way to treat your dog's allergies is to talk to your veterinarian. They can diagnose the cause of the allergies and prescribe the safest and most effective treatment.
* Keep all medications out of reach of your dog: Store all medications, both human and pet, in a secure location where your dog can't access them.
Please prioritize your dog's safety and seek professional veterinary advice for any health concerns.
