Dogs cannot take human cold medicine. The physiology of dogs is different from that of humans. Many ingredients in human cold medicine are not suitable for dogs. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner feed the dog special medicines for pets to avoid causing other abnormalities in the dog. Most of people's cold medicines contain acetaminophen, which is very harmful to dogs and may even cause poisoning.
