Frequently Asked Questions about Antihistamines for Dogs
What are antihistamines for dogs?
Antihistamines for dogs are medications used to treat allergy symptoms caused by seasonal or environmental allergens. They are also used to treat acute allergic reactions. Antihistamines can help relieve common skin symptoms like itchiness and redness, as well as swelling and rashes caused by things like insect stings or vaccine reactions. Dog antihistamines can also be used to prevent motion sickness in dogs.
Do I need a prescription for dog antihistamines?
You do need a prescription for dog antihistamines. Antihistamines should only be given to your dog when specifically recommended by your vet. Although many antihistamines for humans are often prescribed for dogs, you should not give your dog human medications unless instructed to do so by your vet. They may contain added ingredients that are harmful for your dog, or the dosage may be wrong for your pet.
