No, never give your pet a human medicine unless your vet tells you to. Many human NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen are highly toxic to animals. Contact your vet or the animal poisons line immediately if your pet accidentally eats a human painkiller. In some cases, your vet may prescribe a human medication for your pet but they will only do this if they can prescribe a safe dose and there is no alternative which is designed for use in pets. Often this will involve using a specific preparation of the medicine which contains a safe amount of drug. Never give your pet human medications unless it is prescribed by your vet. Always give NSAIDs with food unless specifically advised by your vet.

There are some natural remedies that can help relieve pain in dogs. Several painkilling drugs have been designed specifically for dogs, and these are far safer and more effective than drugs intended for people. If you’re worried your dog is suffering, contact your vet immediately, or, out of hours, your nearest Vets Now emergency clinic or hospital. Always consult your vet if you think your dog is in pain. In certain circumstances, paracetamol can be used in dogs, however, dogs require different doses of medication than humans. Human paracetamol can be highly toxic to dogs if they are given too high a dose.
