L-lysine

Human Medication

Non-toxic In Moderation

L-lysine is an amino acid supplement that may be beneficial for dogs with certain viral infections, especially feline herpes virus in cats. While it is generally safe and well-tolerated, the efficacy in dogs is not well-established. Consult your veterinarian before giving L-lysine to your dog, as they can advise on the appropriate dose and whether it is likely to be helpful for your dog's specific condition. Overdose is unlikely to cause harm, but very high doses may cause gastrointestinal upset.

Please Note: I'm not a veterinarian or dietician.

I've strived to find accurate information and tried to remove any ambiguities. I've re-checked these items multiple times for accuracy, but it's always possible that something slipped through unnoticed. If anything's incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it.

When in doubt, ask your veterinarian.

It's important to note that while some items may not be directly toxic, quantity plays a major role. Many human foods are high in salt, sugar, and fat, for example, which can be unhealthy for dogs if consumed regularly or in large amounts.

Remember, even "safe" things can be dangerous in high enough quantities.
