Bad Medicine


Just because prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications are marked childproof doesn't mean they're dogproof. In fact, most dogs find it way too easy to chew through plastic pill containers if given the opportunity. What's scary is that some of the most common drugs and supplements -- including OTC painkillers, cold medicines, antidepressants, cancer medications, diet pills, and vitamins -- are potentially lethal to dogs, even in relatively small doses. Keep your pooch safe by storing all meds, vitamins, and supplements in a secure cabinet that's out of your pet's reach.
