Can you give a dog Ibuprofen?
Protected question
No, Ibuprofen is highly toxic to dogs and cats. It can cause bleeding ulcers, liver damage, and may even be fatal.

There are other options available, such as carprofen (Vetprofen is a brand name). It is not made from Ibuprofen, but is still effective for joint pain and inflammation. You can discuss options like these with your vet. See the related links below for more information.
