Eat This Not That: Furry Friends Edition Happy Take Your Dog to Work Day! As we celebrate with our furry companions by our side today we are reminded that “dogs are Man’s best friend.” Like with any friend, we hope they stay happy, healthy, and safe.
Part of keeping our furry friends healthy is taking them to annual vet visits and providing them with medications as necessary.
Like humans, dogs can have medical conditions, like diabetes, that require medications, such as insulin.
Ask one of your local Moose pharmacist about our pet medication options! Not only can we fill pet prescriptions, we can also compound individualized pet medications and include special flavoring such as chicken flavor to help make things more appetizing.
As we bring our dogs into the workplace today, it is important to keep them safe and prevent them from getting into anything that may be dangerous or toxic.
Some common dog toxicities include grapes/raisins, xylitol, onions, chocolate and caffeine, and certain medications such as NSAIDs or sulfa-containing medications.
It is important to also make sure your dogs do not get into your medications at home. Storing medications in cool, dry, out of reach places such as upper cabinets or in closed drawers can help prevent accidental ingestion of medications.
If this does happen, contacting the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center is a great start for next steps. Today serves as a great reminder to appreciate our dogs and the joy and companionship they provide.
Bullet Points:
We are dedicated to providing the highest quality pharmacy services to our patients.
