Description
Book SynopsisAdverse reactions to prescription medicines are now a leading cause of death in America. Medicines are powerful treatments but unpredictable. They don’t work the same in everyone, much like how chocolate has a different effect on your pet than it does on you.
Why Dogs Can’t Eat Chocolate: How Medicines Work and How YOU Can Take Them Safely bridges the gap between what most of us understand about pills and what most doctors assume you already know about your medication. From Barney the Bassett hound puppy’s encounter with chocolate stars, to the 3 “Ds” of Taking Medicine Safely, and Dr. Louise’s 5 Key Strategies for Protecting You and Your Loved Ones from the Dangers of Drug Therapy,
Why Dogs Can’t Eat Chocolate covers it all. If you want to make sense of all the information about your medicine that’s available from your doctor, pharmacist, and other sources, this is the book you (and we all) have been waiting for.
Keep your pet safe from chocolate poisoning AND discover what your doctor and pharmacist want you to know about your medications and how to take them safely.
