Tramadol for dogs is a prescription medication that many vets recommend for managing pain.
In fact, Tramadol is one of the few human painkillers that veterinarians deem safe to give to Fido, under veterinary supervision of course.
A tramadol prescription should never be transferred between pets or from owner to pet.
It's really not a good idea. For starters the dosage isn't accurate. The dog type of tramadol is almost the same as the human form but it is not exactly the same. Additionally, tramadol for dogs or humans can be highly addictive. Seizures have been reported in humans taking the medication and you need a physician to prescribe it. If you are taking it for pain relief and you are looking to take the dog's script because you ran out of yours, your relief levels are not going to be the same. You should never take any medication that isn't prescribed to you for safety reasons. This applies to the dog tramadol as well as scripts written to other people.
