Sure thing. It is great that you want to be proactive with your pet! : ) Here are a few recommended activated charcoal products that can be used in pets and they are all over the counter. Availability depends on your area. Charcoaid Actidose with sorbitol Actidose aqua However the one we use in practice is Toxiban, so this is the preferred product - https://www.amazon.com/Vet-A-Mix-Toxiban-Suspension/dp/B000RI88V8 I hope this helps!
