You should not give any over-the-counter (OTC) medications without confirming they are safe to use in your dog, for several reasons.

1. Since human doses and dog doses are different, you need to know the correct dose to administer.

2. Certain drugs used together can cause dangerous interactions, so your veterinarian should review your dog’s medical record to prevent any possible adverse reactions.

3. Many OTC medications are NOT safe for pets. Do not assume that drugs are safe for your pet just because they can be purchased without a prescription. That assumption can lead to toxic effects, and possibly be fatal.

Jovie waiting patiently for her appointment, or a forehead kiss 😘

The clients had a beagle named Buddy and decided to get a kitten and named her Jovie (for Elf fans).

Pets can significantly help people in numerous ways, primarily by improving mental and physical health, and providing companionship. They can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness, and encourage exercise. Additionally, caring for a pet can offer a sense of purpose and routine.

In Dr. Heywood’s case, they are helping her with follow up calls, though it may look more like nap time. 😅💤🥱
