Is Zyrtec safe for my 10-week-old puppy with allergy symptoms?

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Zyrtec is a human antihistamine that Vets use OFF-LABEL (not FDA approved or tested to be safe in dogs and cats) with success. Harper's sneezing could be from allergies. Please read the following links below for further information: https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/zyrtec/ https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/ I wish Harper the best!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes this medication can be given to dogs. However, I would recommend you check in with your veterinarian first as they know his medical history. Keep in mind some of these drugs can interact with other drugs or diseases and be harmful to a patient which is why I recommend you check in with your veterinarian first. Best of luck!

Yes, you can give cetirizine as needed. Be aware that if you use it constantly there is a chance he will become tolerant to it and will no longer work. It should also not be used in animals that have any underlying kidney or liver disease. Please review this article on the medication in regards to dosing, side effects, etc. ( https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/cetirizine/ )

No, I wouldn't recommend doing this without speaking to your vet about it. That's because recommending to do this requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, I cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for Zoey. Give your vet a call, and they can let you know if Levocetirizine 5mg is safe to give her.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, cetirizine can be used in puppies. However, please get in touch with your local vets to confirm the dose and frequency of administration. Your vet may want to see Thea to make sure cetirizine is the right treatment for this problem.

There is no age limit for Cetrizine in dogs; however, it is given based on the weight of your pet so please ask your vet what the appropriate dose would be for Pepper. You can use it on puppies. However, it doesn't have much drowsy effects, so it may not work as well as you are hoping for the puppy. I would instead try to exercise your pup during the day or right before bedtime to tire her out. : ) Best of luck with your puppy Pepper moving forward. Take care.

Yes, you can use either one of those antihistamines. For loratidine you can give 10mg (1 tablet) for Cetirizine you can give 20mg (2 tablets). If after one dose she is not better you should have Bonnie examined by your vet.
