Ask the APCC: Is Pseudoephedrine Dangerous to Dogs?
Is the nasal decongestant pseudoephedrine safe to give to a dog for incontinence? —Stephanie L.
Depending on the circumstances of exposure, Stephanie, pseudoephedrine can be very harmful or even deadly to pets, and therefore we would not advise giving it to your dog. Since many medications and nutritional supplements meant for human use can be harmful to pets, we strongly recommend consulting with your regular veterinarian to get advice on an appropriate medication that will meet your dog's needs.
More new questions:
- Are my dogs able to eat American cheese?
- Is it OK to put pepper on my dog’s food?
- I am a rescuer that places trap-neuter-release cats in barn situations so they have a safe place to live. One lady who is interested in taking some cats has a rat problem in her barn, and wants to use rat poison, as well as the cats, to get rid of the rats. Could the poison be a problem for the cats?
