Can you elaborate? How do dogsdo fentanyl?
Dogs are much less sensitive to it than humans, according to the article.
A quick Google search leads to an FDA article for veterinarians that says "only a tiny amount" can cause an overdose though.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Unsure of the specific pharmacokinetics behind it but dogs take about 3x mcg per kg dosing compared to humans. A lethal dose of fentanyl for humans is 100-200 micrograms which would theoretically translate to about 600mcg lethal dosage for dogs. Considerably larger than a humans tolerance but still only a few granules of powder would be lethal
They sell there kibble and bits for the money to score.
Dogs out there pulling tricks for a fix.
You lookin for a good time human? I do sits for 20 and shakes for 50.
