Dermatological topical products used in the US population and their toxicity to dogs and cats.

Pets in households with humans receiving dermatological prescription topicals may be at risk for toxicosis. Multiple human-labelled dermatological topicals can cause death or major illness to dogs and cats at low dosages. Increased public awareness, especially attention to home storage practices for human-labelled dermatological topicals, may reduce the risk of exposure and toxicosis to dogs and cats.
