Can sleeping pills harm a puppy?

Answer 1

You should never give a dog a medication that is intended for a human, and sleeping pills for a puppy is an extremely dangerous idea. Depending on the type of sleeping pill and the size of the puppy, the effect could be at least a very sick puppy and at worst a dead puppy. As a pet owner you have a responsibility to protect your puppy from harm, and this would certainly harm him and would be considered animal abuse. If you want your puppy to sleep well, take him for a nice long walk.
