Over-the-counter and prescription medications are one of the most common causes of poisoning in dogs. Pain relievers like ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) can cause kidney failure, liver damage, and internal bleeding.
What to Do: Store all medications in a secure place, and never give human painkillers to dogs unless prescribed by a vet. If your dog swallows pills, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.
