Piriton is a pharmaceutical product manufactured for use in humans, there is no antihistamine licensed for use in dogs at this time. It is illegal to give your pet any human medication without direct supervision of a veterinary surgeon. Generally, if your pet is fit and healthy then piriton will be safe to give. However, as a human medication, only your vet can prescribe piriton under the “veterinary cascade”. Piriton isn’t recommended for pets with certain medical conditions, such as heart disease, hypothyroidism, obstructive bladder or bowel disease etc. The dose will be prescribed based on your pets’ weight. In healthy pets with no pre-existing conditions, piriton can be useful in some circumstances. It has been found that piriton / antihistamines can be useful in emergency treatment of bites and stings.
