Painkillers for dogs
Vets prescribe painkillers to help your dog feel more comfortable after an injury, operation or a painful illness. The type of painkiller prescribed depends on the problem, as well as your dog’s age and general health.
Painkillers are used to treat pain. Most dogs will need painkillers (analgesics) at some point in their lives, especially as they get older. Sometimes treatment is for a short time, to help your pet recover from an injury or operation. Dogs with arthritis may need painkillers every day to help them enjoy a happy active life. Side effects are common and depend on the medicine, but often include tummy upsets or sleepiness. Only use painkillers your vet prescribes. Most human painkillers are not safe for dogs.
