We learned that the “not for collie drug list” applies to a large percentage of herding breeds and a test can be given to test for the gene that some of these dogs are missing which keeps the drugs out of the brain.

The reason I tell you this, is that not all veterinarians are up to date on this, and we need to educate ourselves and them.

Please pass it to all collie and herding group people.

I encourage you to do the research and have the list put in their pet’s medical chart. Give it to your veterinarians.

This list may not be inclusive as new drugs are coming out all the time
