When your dog’s limping or your cat won’t stop scratching, it’s tempting to reach into your medicine cabinet, but should you?
In this episode, I’m joined by returning guest Dr. Zoo, my vet and the veterinarian for Starlight Outreach and Rescue, to tackle one of the most Googled questions in pet parenting: “Can I give my pet human over-the-counter meds?”
We’re breaking down what’s safe, what’s dangerous, and what might help when the vet is closed and your pet needs relief now.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL FIND OUT:
• Which common human medications can be deadly to pets - even in small amounts
• Safe, vet-approved options you can keep on hand for pain, allergies, and stomach issues
• Natural remedies hiding in your fridge or pantry that actually work
Stop guessing, Googling, or asking that know-it-all in your dog mom Facebook group who thinks garlic cures everything. This episode gives you the real answers, so you’re ready the next time your pet needs help.
