Can dogs be given human medications? This is a question that has been on our minds for a long time, mainly because it brings up the issue of animal rights. In order to answer this question, we will have to define what a medication is and what would qualify as an animal.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary states that “medication is “a preparation intended to treat or prevent illness in humans or animals.” A drug is “any agent used in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.” Basically, a medication can be anything from aspirin to penicillin and anything in between.

It is safe to say that dogs cannot be given human medications, though there is some disagreement on the topic. The FDA has never approved any medications that are meant for humans and then given to dogs. They also say it is impossible because the body’s response in dogs is different than it would be in humans.

What Is Dog Medicine?

If your dog needs medication, he or she may be given human medication. Dog medicine is used to treat dogs with illnesses and injuries that are the same as those humans might suffer.

Before administering any form of human medication, you should ask your vet what types of drugs are safe for your pet. This includes any type of drug from over-the-counter medications to prescription medications. Always check with a vet before giving a pet any type of medication so they don’t have an allergic reaction or overdose on the dosage.

There are many different types of dog medicine depending on what kind of illness or injury they have. Common types include pain relievers, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and even life-saving treatments like IV fluids and CPR.

How the Medical Treatments for Dogs Differ from Those for Humans

In veterinary medicine, allergies and disorders are treated in a different way to how they are treated in human medicine.

Pet allergies and disorders can be caused by a number of things. These include infections, toxins, parasites, stressors, diet changes, and old age. In general, veterinarians will start by providing a long-term treatment that involves managing the underlying problem. Once this is done successfully for several months or years, medications may be recommended to help relieve symptoms.

Many owners try to treat their own pets when they notice their dog has an allergy or other issue because it can be difficult for them to find the right prescription medication at the pharmacy without help from a vet or pet store staff member.
