- While loratadine is less toxic, any ingestion should be cautiously observed.
- Contact a vet if you have concerns about your dog’s health or behavior.
Loratadine is an antihistamine used in humans for allergies, and while it's considered to have low toxicity in dogs, ingesting any human medication is not ideal without veterinary guidance. Watch out for signs such as vomiting, lethargy, or changes in behavior, and if any of these occur, reach out to a veterinarian promptly.
