Can you give your dog hayfever tablets?

Answer 1

You should never give human medication to a dog - dogs can have very severe reactions to human medication, including death. Also, the causes and underlying processes that cause a dog to appear to have a cold can be very different from what causes a cold in humans.j

If your dog appears to be mildly ill - sneezing, runny eyes, tired, not interested in eating, you can try watching him for 24 hours to see if he gets better on his own. If he is also vomiting, has diarrhea, appears to be in pain or is running a fever (a rectal thermometer reading of 103.5 or higher is a fever in a dog), you should take him to the veterinarian for examination.

In many cases, dogs can get mild upper respiratory viral infections that they clear on their own without any medication.
