Yes- our pets often take the same medications we do.
OR - do we often take the same medications that our pets do????
Medications for people, children, big dogs, small dogs, etc. are usually dosed according to weight - with any further necessary adjustments being made after that.
It is standard knowledge among vets - the dosages of medicines that are appropriate for our different dogs. And, in fact, the correct dosages are written out on the bottles, brochures, and paperwork for any medications they have in their offices - and the correct dosages are readily available for any medicine they might prescribe. We should be able to trust them to give our pets the right dosage of any medication.
