can dogs take claritin for bad allergies2007-11-25 3:00:02Answers:

No, dogs cannot take Claritin. They can take Benadryl, I give 1/2 tablet for a small dog, 1 tablet for a large dog.

Your vet will perscribe the proper medication. Don't self-medicate the dog, when you don't know what you're doing. Anyway, the human dose is way too much for a dog.

Dogs can not process human food or medications the way we do. You have to get special allergy pills from the vet. My dog is on some for her allergies.

Ask your vet. An animal should never take any people medicine without a vet's approval.

Unsure of Claritin, but depending on the size a dog can take benedryl.(2) tablets for a large dog about 100 lbs or more.

yea i give my dog half a pill everyday.i have a small dog though so a big dog like a lab etc can have a full one.i have prescription stuff from the vet though so i dont know about human stuff

No, that is a medicine made for people and is not healthy for dog consumption. The dog will puff up and the allergies will only get worse. I am a vet and I have seen a case like it before.

---

NO! The Vet can tell you what your dog can take for allergies and any other problem. Animals can not take drugs prescribed for people it can kill them.

Please consult with your vet before you prescribed your own medicine for your dog. Last time I checked, the vet doesn't charge for a phone call :). Some human medication will severely hurt your dog, or you can overdose your dog if you don't know how to properly dose the medicine.
