Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to give the dose information for any drug, including OTC drugs, without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for Fifi. I'd give your vet a call to see if it's safe to give her Mucinex now and they can advise you on how much to give her. Good luck!

You can discuss with your vet if this is safe to give him, and they can give you the dose information.

Do not give any medications to your pup without the advice of your veterinarian. Legally, we are prohibited from providing dosing information, even for OTC meds, in the absence of a patient-veterinarian-client relationship and a physical exam.

Hello. I have a mini huskey that is 4 years old, up to date on all shots, heartworm, tick. He has a cough, started last night. Can I give him a little of Robitussin total cough, cold and flu extra strength. It's what I have in the house
I would not recommend giving Mocha Robitussin total cough, cold and flu extra strength. It contains pseudoephedrine and acetominophen which can both be toxic in dogs if not used very carefully (and Mocha is a small guy). I wish I could give you a good recommendation for an over the counter medication, but the safest cough medications for dogs are only available by prescription. I would recommend contacting your vet about Mocha's cough and see what they would recommend for him. Coughing can be caused by anything from irritation to a virus to something much more severe, so I would make sure to keep your vet in the loop and have Mocha evaluated right away if he seems to get worse or not feel well. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

my dog simba has been snezzing for 4 days is there any thing i can give him over the counter
Unfortunately no, there isn't anything I can recommend you give Simba that OTC. By law it is illegal for the experts at Boop by Petco to suggest any drug, including human OTC drugs, without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for your dog. You can try using a humidifier or bringing him into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower if he's congested- the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections. Your other option is to take Simba into the vet, who can prescribe him medications to help with his sneezing and symptoms.
