It is extremely important to NEVER give human medication to your dog without consulting a veterinarian first.
Claritin, like many human medications, can be harmful to dogs.
Here's why:
* Different Metabolism: Dogs process medications differently than humans. What is safe for a human can be toxic for a dog.
* Dosage Differences: The amount of medication that is safe for a human is often much higher than what is safe for a dog.
* Potential Side Effects: Human medications can cause a variety of side effects in dogs, including vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and even death.
If your dog is experiencing allergies, please contact your veterinarian for advice. They will be able to determine the best course of treatment for your dog.
