Don’t Poison Man’s Best Friend: Medication Poisonings in Canines
Live Webinar | November 19, 2026
1 Hour of ACPE & RACE Continuing Education for Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Veterinarians & Veterinary Technicians
Dogs process medications differently than humans and other animal species, which can affect how they respond to certain drugs and increase their risk of medication poisoning. Understanding these differences is important when prescribing, dispensing, and administering medications to canine patients.
Join Renee Schmid, DVM, DABT, DABVT, Director of Veterinary Medicine and Senior Veterinary Toxicologist at Pet Poison Helpline, for this live webinar, Don’t Poison Man’s Best Friend: Medication Poisonings in Canines. Dr. Schmid will discuss the unique characteristics of dogs and how these differences influence medication use, treatment decisions, and drug safety.
The session will cover how dogs absorb, distribute, metabolize, and eliminate medications (ADME), along with important considerations for prescribing and administering medications. Through case-based examples, Dr. Schmid will also discuss common human medications that can cause poisoning in dogs and the risks associated with these exposures.
Participants will learn why medications used in humans and other animals may not have the same effects or safety profiles in dogs. This webinar will help pharmacy and veterinary professionals better understand canine medication safety and recognize factors that can contribute to medication poisoning.
