How to euthanize a dog with Tylenol… and why you don’t….

How to euthanize a dog with Tylenol… and why you don’t….

Posted by justinelee in Animal Safety, Blog, Pet Health

As a veterinarian, I never thought I’d be writing on a blog on how to euthanize a dog or cat with Tylenol at home… A few months ago, a fellow veterinarian contacted me about a blog that she saw on Petbloggish.com about how to euthanize a dog at home with Tylenol (which contains the active ingredient acetaminophen – which is more commonly called paracetamol in other countries). How to kill your own pet at home. For real. (Thankfully, they have since removed this...
