Pet Medication

Here are a few reminders to keep your pet, yourself, and others safe when using medications:

• Be careful with pill containers; pets often find dropped pills before anyone else.
• Do not leave pills loose on a table or counter.
• If you and your pet both take medications, do not get them out at the same time—it is easy to give your pill to your pet or for you to swallow your pet’s medication.
• Only give pets ‘human’ medication if instructed by a veterinarian.
• If your pet is given an incorrect medication or product, call the Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222.
