EFSA and JECFA reviewed a feeding study in rats and both authorities recognized that the no adverse effect level for spilanthol was 572 mg/kg b.w./day, yielding a safe dose of spilanthol of 1.9 mg/kg b.w./day, or 133.5 mg/70-kg-male/day, 111 mg/58-kg-female/day, or 38 mg/20-kg-child/day.
Spilanthol (affinin) is a fatty acid amide isolated from Acmella oleracea. [1] It is believed to be responsible for the local anesthetic properties of the plant. [2]Spilanthol permeates the human skin [3] and the inside lining of the cheeks in the mouth (buccal mucosa), [4] resulting in local as well as systemic pharmacological concentrations.
Side effects in dogs and cats include hypersalivation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and vomiting.

[7] Other taxa formerly included in Spilanthes include: [3] Adenostemma; Eclipta ...
A group of dogs supplemented with omega 3 fatty acids (660 mg/kg [300 mg/lb] of body weight/d) not only improved the condition of their pruritus, but showed an overall improvement in skin condition. [19] Furthermore, diets lacking in essential fatty acids usually present as matted and unkept fur as the first sign of a deficiency. [19]
Side-effects, drug interactions, and allergenic sensitivities are concerns when administering any medication to a person's dog. The Canine Liver Disease Foundation claims that many common drugs also can lead to liver damage in dogs, although they do not specifically cite any of the abovementioned drugs prescribed for dog anxiety.
Half the dogs received bedinvetmab and half the dogs received a sterile saline injection every 28 days for a total of three doses. [5] Before treatment and on various days throughout the study, owners used the Canine Brief Pain Inventory (CBPI) assessment tool to measure the severity of the dog's pain and the degree to which the pain interfered ...
Acetaminophen (paracetamol, Tylenol) can cause liver damage in dogs. The toxic dose is 150 mg/kg. [174] Ibuprofen * can cause gastrointestinal irritation, stomach ulcers, and kidney damage in dogs. [175] Naproxen (Aleve)* has a long half-life in dogs and can cause gastrointestinal irritation, anemia, melena (digested blood in feces), and vomiting.
