Streptococcus in the news. Streptococcus suis, a species of Streptococci found in pigs, has recently caused a rash of human infections in China.

Giving your dog iron supplement pills, made for human consumption, isnât the way to go. We give our youngest dog this canine-formulated iron supplement after it was confirmed that she was mildly deficient. Weâve since improved her diet.

Benadryl tablets are safe for dogs and generally result in a moderate reduction of stress/anxiety. You can give 1mg per pound that your dog(s) weigh. So for example, if your yorkie weighed 12 pounds, you can give them 1/2 of one 25mg tablet. I would suggest trying it in advance just to ensure that it is effective for your pets. Safe travels!
