No, absolutely not. Human pain medications, especially NSAIDs like ibuprofen or paracetamol (acetaminophen), are highly toxic to dogs and can cause severe kidney failure, liver failure, stomach ulcers, and even death. Even a small dose can be deadly. Never administer human medication to your pet without explicit veterinary instruction. Always consult a veterinarian for appropriate pain management for your dog. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance to assess the injury.
