Can you give cats Claritin?

Question

Should I give claritin to my cat instead of benadryl? Is it okay to give claritin to cats?

Answer 1

Claritin is used to treat allergies in cats. Allergies should be controlled in all cases but when it's impossible, Claritin should be used in small doses in order to control allergic reactions in a cat.

Answer 2

Cat allergies are the most common but medical treatment may help. Claritine(loratadine) can be given once to twice daily. Do not take another dose it can result in clinical signs of severe agitation, diarrhea, seizures, vomiting even death. So better to consult a veterinarian to know how much dosage require for your cat.

Answer 3

yes you can give Claritin to your cat as the common allergies in cats can be cured using the Claritin but it should be used in a dosage given by the vet

Answer 4

No, it is not okay to give Claritin to cats. Claritin is an antihistamine and can be toxic to cats. It is best to consult with your veterinarian about any medications you would like to give to your cat.

Answer 5

If your pet has mild seasonal allergies without a skin infection, over-the-counter antihistamines might be an option for allergy relief. Benadryl (diphenhydramine), Zyrtec (cetirizine), and Claritin (loratadine) are commonly used allergy medicine for cats and dogs.

Answer 6

I'm not a veterinarian, but it's generally not recommended to give human medications to pets without consulting a vet first. Both Claritin and Benadryl may have potential risks for cats, and the dosage is crucial. Please consult your veterinarian for advice tailored to your cat's specific needs.
