What OTC Medications for Humans Should Not Be Used on Pets:

Tylenol (Acetaminophen): Cats lack the enzymes to break down Tylenol, making it lethal to all cats. For cat pain relief we recommend Traumeel Tablets. Dogs can ingest Tylenol, but it's strongly urged to use pain relievers made for dogs instead.

Traumeel Tablets are a pain reliever that's safe to use for dogs AND cats.

Arthrin as an alternative for Ibuprofen in dogs.

Ibuprofen: Some vets recommend using Ibuprofen for dogs, however it's been known to cause stomach ulcers and liver damage. Arthrin is a great alternative for Ibuprofen, however it should not be used on cats.

Laxatives: Laxatives are commonly used to help rid cats of hairballs. Unfortunately they're not made for a cat which is why cats are often administered a lethal amount accidentally. Cat Lax is an alternative to human laxatives that is safe to use on cats of all sizes.

Give your cat Cat Lax to help rid of hairballs instead of laxatives intended for human use.

Vitamins: Human vitamins, especially the ones that contain iron, can damage the lining of the digestive system. Read below to find out which vitamins your pet may be lacking.
