Hello! That’s a great question, and it's important to understand both the impact of pet prescriptions on our furry friends and any potential influence they might have on humans.
Pet medications are specifically formulated for animals and can react differently in humans. Generally, vets focus on prescribing safe, effective treatments for pets and ensuring that owners handle these medications appropriately. Potential impacts on humans aren't often highlighted because, typically, pet prescriptions should have minimal direct impact on us if handled correctly. However, if accidentally ingested or improperly handled, some medications could potentially cause reactions.
At home, it’s crucial to store pet medications safely out of reach of children and other pets. Always wash your hands thoroughly after administering any medication, and use gloves if necessary.
If you're ever concerned about potential exposure, you should watch for any unusual signs in humans, like nausea, dizziness, or allergic reactions, and contact a healthcare provider immediately if these occur.
Your attention to this topic is a great step in ensuring a safe environment for both your pet and family members. If you have specific concerns about a medication or how to handle it, booking a video consult with a vet through Dial A Vet can offer personalized guidance. Remember, no question is too small when it comes to your family’s and your pet’s health!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
