  1. No!  NEVER give animals human medications. Most are deadly to pets. Consult your vet for a safe alternative.  Some dogs can take aspirin but you need to ask a vet for which type is best and for a dosage...and if your pet is healthy enough to be given medication.


  2. NO! It will stop your dogs heart! However, you can give him baby asprin but no Tylenol. What works best for us will  kill a dog. You also can't give tylenol to cats either. Stick to baby asprin and you should be good. If a dog does eat some tylenol, call a vet IMMEDIATLY.

  3. FRICKKK NO!

    It will mess up your dogs internals!

    DON'T.

  4. Dogs (particularly small dogs) are susceptible to significant tissue damage from as little as two regular strength Tylenol and repeated doses increase the risk significantly. Signs develop quickly and can include salivation, vomiting, weakness and abdominal pain.

    Due to the significant toxicity to pets in relatively minimal dosages, the recommendation is clear Tylenol should not be given to dogs or cats. Other, safer, drugs are available for pain relief; talk to your veterinarian about your own pet’s specific needs.

    Most vets do not recommend self medicating your animals.  Here is a site with some technical reading on the subject
