Can’t I just give my dog/cat a Tylenol or Advil to help with pain, rather than paying for more costly veterinary pain medication?

NEVER give your pet medication intended for people unless your veterinarian has prescribed it. Most over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), can have serious, POTENTIALLY FATAL consequences if a pet ingests them. Atlantic Veterinary Care offers a variety of pain medications; let us help you determine which one will fit your budget and help alleviate your pet’s pain.
