Dogs & Drugs: Why Sedatives & Tranquilizers May Put Your Dog To Sleep… Forever!
As far as I know, pets aren’t smoking or drinking…
…not yet, anyways.
But I hear they’re becoming regular pill-poppers!
What???
A recent report from Colorado State University noted that drug abuse among pets is becoming a serious problem. We know how dog owners tend to select pets which look like them. Now, apparently, they’re trying to get their pets to act like them.
Dr. Ben Baker of the school of Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State said, We always here that we look like our dogs, and we do have a tendency to think that what is good for us like vacations and baths is also good for our dogs. And that is carrying over to tranquilizers.
Drug manufacturers report that humans are popping pills in increasing numbers. There’s a tranquilizer – both prescriptive and non-prescriptive for every complaint; however, none of them were designed for animal consumption (and more than likely not even safe long-term for humans as well).
