NOT
SAFE
(If a drug is NOT listed here, please do not assume it is safe to
give to your dog, always consult your veterinarian first)
Other common medicines and so called social "drugs"
which definitely should not be given by owners to their pets are
:
* Paracetamol
* Ibuprofen
* Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
* Alcohol of any kind
* Benzocaine
* The laxative phenolphthalein
* Iron supplements
* Vitamin D supplements
* Nebuliser medications prescribed for asthma
* Drugs used to control "fits" e.g. phenytoin (toxic in
cats)
* Coffee and tea (due to the caffeine content)
* Cannabis or any other illegal drug.
All of the above have been documented to cause serious illness -
and are potentially fatal . The message is - NEVER assume what is
safe for you and your children is safe for your pet - the chances
are it isn't.

Cesar tips - American Pit Bull Terriers
CESAR MILLAN
CESAR'S PHILOSOPHY
In the wild, a dog's very survival depends on a strong, stable and organized pack, where every member knows its place and follows the rules established by the pack leader. The pack instinct is perhaps the strongest natural motivator for a pit bull.Cesar Millan teaches that, in order to properly fulfill both our dogs and ourselves, we need to become our canine's calm, assertive pack leaders. A dog that doesn't trust its human to be a good pack leader becomes unbalanced and often exhibits unwanted or anti-social behaviors. Cesar does not "train" dogs in the sense of teaching them commands like "sit, stay, come, heel," - he rehabilitates unbalanced dogs and helps "re-train" their owners to better understand how to see the world through a dog's eyes. Cesar counsels people to calmly, assertively, and consistently give their dogs rules, boundaries and limitations to establish themselves as solid pack leaders and to help correct and control unwanted behavior. He doesn't believe in "quick fixes," even though changing some behaviors can appear to happen in a relatively short period of time. None of those changes will "stick," however, unless the human acts consistently with his/her dog every day to keep unwanted behaviors from returning. In Cesar's opinion, no one should ever hit or yell at a dog to correct unwanted behavior.
