Dogs that accidentally ingest ibuprofen at toxic levels should be treated as an emergency, because high levels of ibuprofen in a dogs system is potentially lethal. So, while ibuprofen can be very effective for pain and fever, it is a risky drug to give to your dog, even more risky than aspirin.

Dogs appear to be more sensitive to the adverse effects of blocking COX-1. This, combined with the fact that dogs metabolize and excrete NSAIDs differently than people, means that even relatively low doses of ibuprofen can lead to life-threatening side effects. Alternatives to Ibuprofen for Dogs
