Can my dog eat blood pressure tablets?
No.
Unless your vet prescribed this exact medicine for this dog at their dose. Human heart and blood pressure tablets can drop a dog's blood pressure and heart rate dangerously.
Already ate it?
If they ate itEmergency. Go now with the packet and the strength. Don't make them vomit unless a vet tells you to.
Watch forWeakness, wobbliness, pale gums, a very slow or very fast heartbeat, collapse — usually within a few hours; slow-release tablets can take half a day or more.
Thinking of giving it?
WhyCalcium channel blockers (amlodipine) and beta blockers (atenolol, bisoprolol) are among the most serious accidental swallows vets see. Slow-release tablets keep acting for many hours.
Where this comes from. Merck Veterinary Manual — Cardiovascular Medications Toxicity; Merck Veterinary Manual — Poisonings from Human Prescription Drugs.
