Ask the vet - Dog

Is there any pain medication I can give my dog?

Vet at FirstVet answers:

You should never give your dog human medication unless directed by a veterinarian. Dogs’ and humans’ bodies function differently. Some of the medicines used to treat people can seriously damage dog’s inner organs and can in the worst-case scenario lead to death. Painkillers specifically developed for dogs are available via veterinary prescription.
