What Painkillers Can You Give a Dog?

In all cases, we only recommend that you give your dog medicine that the Caring Vet has prescribed specifically for them. Otherwise you risk not taking into account their age, condition or the other factors that an expert knows need to be considered.

Signs of pain or discomfort in dogs
Signs of pain or discomfort in dogs are usually easier to spot than in cats, who will almost always try to hide the fact that they are hurting. Dogs, on the other hand, show symptoms such as:
- Loss of appetite
- Unwillingness to play or do other activities they used to enjoy
- Problems related to bathroom behaviour
- Whimpering or whining more than usual
- Growling more than usual
- General changes in personality
