Is Claritin safe for dogs with allergies? What should I know?

Question

Can I give my dog claritin that contains mint flavor? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 72 lbs

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

No, I would not recommend giving this to Sadie. Claritin is potentially dangerous to dogs, and giving it to her may accidentally cause harm. In addition, it's never recommended to self treat your animals, as you could do harm to her and it may be the wrong medication for her symptoms. I would take Sadie into your vet for an exam. The vet can determine if Claritin, or another drug, is appropriate and safe to give her, and then the vet can prescribe it for her.
