Due to its easy avaibility and non-narcotic nature people keep them in houses and consume without any advice of experts, whenever needed, and also use for their pets. Sometimes the pets specially dogs and cats also ingest accidently these medications. The reports of paracetamol toxicity especially in dogs are meager. This paper presents toxicity of paracetamol in dogs and its successful therapeutic management.
