No more itching
From UndisclosedComments about Cetirizine HCl 10mg, 100 TabletsWe've come to realize our good boy has seasonal allergies. We were looking for an alternative to the expensive vet shots.

Helped my dogs allergies & reverse sneezing fits.
From UndisclosedComments about Cetirizine HCl 10mg, 100 TabletsMy dog was having very bad reverse sneezing fits and the vet recommended an antihistamine to calm his allergies. I was looking for Zyrtec first but Cetirizine has been a great generic alternative. He's been taking it 3 days and it works great. No more dreadful reverse sneezing fits! -

This antihistamine helps my dog.
From UndisclosedComments about Cetirizine HCl 10mg, 100 TabletsIzzy has Mast Cell cancer. We were using benedryl as an antihistamine but based on a study I read Cetirizine reportedly worked better. Decided to try it and she is no longer scratching the tumors until they bleed. Cetirizine has become an integral part of her protocol, she gets 10 mg am and pm and I also have the 5 mg just in case she needs a bit more. Speedy shipping and great price at VetRX Direct. Thanks! Trish & Izzy-

Best for my pup's allergies and eyes
From UndisclosedComments about Cetirizine HCl 5mg, 100 TabletsMy family takes Zyrtec, and Benadryl was not working for Fiona🐾. So I decided to give this a try and it works so much better. She doesn't have so much of the eye gunk she usually gets. Instead of cleaning her face every day with tear stain remover and the tiny comb, i just use eye wipes once a week.-

How can 2 tablets of cetirizine 10 mg be safe for a dog when human consumption is limited to 1 tablet daily?
-
Cetirizine is a human-labeled medication that may be used in an extra-label manner for pets, under the direction and guidance of a veterinarian. As a pet pharmacy, we only dispense this medication for use in animals. When used for dogs, cetirizine is dosed based on the dog's weight (mg/kg). Depending on your dog’s weight, more than one tablet may be needed to reach the appropriate dose. In humans, cetirizine is not dosed by weight. Please consult your veterinarian regarding any further questions or concerns regarding this medication in your dog.
