There are many toxic household medications that could accidentally be ingested by your pet. Ibuprofen is the most common human medication ingested by pets and can cause stomach ulcers and kidney failure.

Follow these tips to keep your pets safe!
βœ… Be sure to keep all medications both for humans and pets away from your animals (unless specifically instructed by a veterinarian to give them medication.

βœ… Never leave pills OR pill bottles sitting on the counter or in a place that a pet can reach them (some dogs can easily chew through a pill bottle).

βœ… If you accidentally drop a pill when taking it out of the bottle, quickly pick it up so you know your pet won't find and eat it.

βœ… Never give a medication (human or prescribed to another animal in your household) to your pet without consulting a veterinarian first.

If you suspect your pet has consumed a human medication or a medication meant for another pet in your household, immediately contact Vista at (916) 231-4445. You can also connect with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.

πŸŒŸπŸ“£πŸΎ Doctor Spotlight πŸŒŸπŸ“£πŸΎ

Meet Dr. Kari Kato, one of our experienced emergency veterinarians here at Vista!

Dr. Kato originally grew up in Orange County, CA before attending U.C. Berkeley to complete her undergraduate degree. After college, she worked as a veterinary nurse for several years in both general practice and at an emergency clinic. It was during this time she developed a passion for emergency and critical care. After graduating from the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine with her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, she completed a one year rotating internship with a focus on emergency and critical care medicine at the Pet Emergency and Specialty Center in San Diego. She continued to work there as an emergency clinician before moving to the Sacramento area. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband and daughters, as well as gardening, baking, crocheting, and crafting.

Did you know 6 minutes is all it takes for a dog to overheat in a hot vehicle and face lifelong or fatal consequences? β˜€οΈπŸ₯΅ Pets can still overheat even when the windows are down, or if the car is parked in a shaded area.

Our best advice is to not leave your dog in the car - take them with you or leave them at home with plenty of water and shade. They will happily greet you when you return! 😊
