Yes, the drug Tramadol used in dogs is actually the human drug Tramadol (also called Ultram).

In fact, it is only approved for human use, and is used "off-label" in veterinary medicine since it is not actually labeled for use in dogs.

Dog Tramadol is one of the few drugs that share nearly the exact same chemical composition as a human medication. The pain meds your pup takes will be very similar to the ones you might have experience with at home, apart from minor alterations in their chemical structure to make them safer for the animal's organs.
