Question

Is a vitamin c syrup for humans safe for a dog to consume?

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Dogs do not need to be supplemented with vitamin c syrup unless for a specific medical reason. Too much can cause diarrhea, kidney stones, and liver and kidney failure. I would not give it to your dog unless prescribed by your vet.
