Best Dog Medications of 2025

"I have a senior dog, and after her vet recommended some over-the-counter aspirin treats, I decided to try these. They have helped her tremendously! I did make a mistake once by giving her the treat on an empty stomach, which caused her tummy to hurt, but after following the directions, she tolerates them well."

"I have an older dog with hip issues. We were out of dog aspirin, so I tried these. They seem to be working well! He eats them without fuss, which is a huge relief for me. I appreciate the options for different weights, making it easy to dose."

"My yellow lab is 16 1/2 years old, and her mobility was declining. After trying this product, I noticed a difference after just one dose. She walks with more ease and is more comfortable, which means the world to me."

"For $10, this product is amazing! My dog found immediate relief from tick bites, and his fur started healing within the week. I highly recommend it!"

"I have Border Collies who love playing in the garden and often get scrapes. This ointment is wonder medicine; they actually let me apply it now because it stops their scratching right away!"

"This ointment really helped my dog's paws heal much faster than without it. With just a few applications, I noticed a significant improvement. I definitely recommend it!"

"One of my dogs started hacking at night, and I was worried she might be in distress. After taking her to the vet, we found out she had kennel cough, and soon my other dog had it too. They maintained their appetite and energy, but during coughing fits, they occasionally gagged and vomited foam. Despite being on antibiotics, the cough persisted. After researching online, I discovered this product with raw honey benefits. It helped ease their coughing and allowed them to relax. However, I found the droppers somewhat inconvenient and wished for a syringe with accurate dosing. Additionally, while this product helped, I emphasize that it's not a substitute for veterinary care."

"I wasn't sure my dog would like Throat Gold, but I had to give it to him forcefully at first. I read a review suggesting using treats afterward, but I decided against that. To my surprise, my dog seemed to love it when I accidentally spilled some on the floor, licking it up before I could clean it. This product worked wonders, quieting his cough almost immediately, unlike a different brand I tried before. I'm definitely going to buy more!"

"When I first got this product, I mixed it into my dog's food, and he ate it without any issues. The next day, I used a new oral syringe to give him a dose, and by that evening, his cough had improved significantly. However, on the third day, I noticed some strange growths in the dropper, which made me question the product's safety. While my dog showed no negative symptoms after the initial days, I ultimately had to discard the rest. It worked to some extent, but I can't fully recommend it due to safety concerns."

"I was initially skeptical about this product, but I decided to give it a shot before spending a fortune at the vet. To my surprise, it worked wonders! My dog was chewing on a sore spot on his leg, and after using this spray for about three days, he stopped and the area started to heal. No unpleasant odor either, and I believe it’s a great value."

"After struggling with a hotspot on my dog's paw for months, I tried this spray as an addition to my treatment arsenal. While it didn't completely solve the issue, I did notice an improvement in healing time. The application is simple and it’s affordable, but it does take a bit longer to dry than I expected."

"I used this on my dog's surgery site, and it was highly effective. The only downside was that it seemed to sting a little when I first applied it. Overall, it did a fantastic job of helping her heal."

"I'm on my second bottle with my 15-year-old Chihuahua. I noticed it seems to work for about 18 to 20 hours. I checked with AI Ruffes and it confirmed I could give it twice a day. Although my dog doesn't seem to enjoy the taste, I believe he knows it helps. The smell is like vinegar, so I assume it tastes similar. It's a good value, and the dropper is easy to use."

"My little girl was dealing with a deep honk-sounding cough. I felt overwhelmed by all the online advice urging immediate vet visits. On day 1, she managed to sleep through the night. By day 2, she was still under the weather but starting to eat and regain her personality. On day 3, she was still coughing but was back to her playful self. It definitely worked for her, and the dropper was simple to use. The price and size are quite reasonable."

"I just received this product and am unsure how it will work. I wanted to help a couple of juvenile ferals, but unfortunately, the dropper doesn't work well—only picks up about 1/4 inch of liquid. I will need to buy a new dropper to even test it out, which is a bit disappointing since it's not returnable."

"The medicine worked very well for my pet, and I was really glad to find it online. I didn’t have to take him to the vet, so thank you very much!"

"My dog has been experiencing more coughing, so I ordered this for some relief. With 60 servings in the bottle, it lasts for 2 months for my pup under 25 pounds. I love that it has only natural ingredients, and I can order it directly. I give it to him before bed to help us both have a better night's sleep. He’s usually picky about supplements, but he takes this one without any trouble. Plus, the expiration date is far off, which gives me peace of mind knowing he’s comfortable."

"I have been using these drops for my pup for two years. They work great for her stuffy nose, congestion, and sneezing! She doesn't like the taste much, but it only lasts a second, and I give her a little treat afterwards."

"My cat was sneezing and had a dripping nose. I added the drops into his food, using broth to mask the taste. After a few days, he’s doing much better!"

"I bought this for the 16-year-old cat next door. His sneezing and runny nose improved greatly within just a few days. I plan to order more to keep his symptoms at bay."

"I noticed my 7-year-old dog wheezing one night and ordered this product right away. It arrived in just two days, and after giving it to him, his wheezing improved within hours. Now, on day five, he's almost back to normal!"

"I hoped this would help my 14-year-old poodle's cough, but unfortunately, it didn't work. I ended up taking her to the vet, where I found out she has a collapsed trachea and needed stronger medication."

"My outside feral cat was sneezing and coughing, but after using this product, he stopped for now. He also loves the new kitty condo I set up for him on the porch!"

"This medication was effective for my sick fur baby. The taste must be good, as she didn't mind taking it, and it cost a fraction of what the vet wanted to charge."

"I was a bit hesitant at first, but she loves the taste mixed with her dry food. After a few days, I noticed a huge difference in her condition. The best part is the natural ingredients and her happy tail wag when I mention this product!"

"After I gave this to my dog, he started having seizures and seemed very out of it. It was a truly terrifying experience, and I realized it was not a smart choice to buy medication online. Many ingredients are likely toxic to dogs, so please consider going to the vet instead."

“I applied this to my Chihuahua's hot spots, and no more itching or issues! She's doing really well now. It truly helps soothe her irritation. Just a tip: I recommend wetting my hand before applying for smoother distribution. Also, I noticed my bottle was slightly underfilled, but it's definitely worth the price.”

“This product, combined with a cone and donut, finally helped my dog's hot spot heal. Nothing else worked in the previous weeks. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with the same issue.”

“I was disappointed to find that the bottle I received seemed used or returned, as it wasn't sealed and was nearly empty. I haven't tried it on my dog yet because I’m not comfortable using something that has been opened. I just wish it was in better condition.”
