Some are safe but you should always speak to a veterinarian before you give them. Ibuprofen is well and truly on the list of no-no's. Veterinary prescription drugs are best - NSAIDs or pain killers such as Tramadol. If you want more information on what human drugs you might get away with in an emergency you can check some posts on my arthritis blog: http://www.dogarthritisblog.info/category/dog-arthritis-medication-2/dog-anti-inflammatory-drugs/ A bit late on this post but I absolutely agree with Dr Wright about the human medications.

Offering clinical approval of a unique ingredient not available elsewhere, and from a company deemed reliable, and offering a money back guarantee, you really don't have much to lose.

I personally had a bad experience with NSAIDs. I think what happens is that most people go after the most common first, and only if that doesn't work out, they go searching for alternatives, which are safer and often just as much effective. Acupuncture for example can bring very good results in treating arthritis. For arthritis, from personal experience, my recommendation is to consider stem cell regenerative therapy. On that note, I believe that it is always better to try to treat than manage. Jana Most commonly used doesn’t always mean the best. I personally had a bad experience with NSAIDs.

I used to hurt my back quite often back when mixing concrete seemed to be my life. I was loathe to take meds in case I would do something I shouldn't as I was unsure how much trouble my back was really in. Lindsay

I am the same. I used to hurt my back quite often back when mixing concrete seemed to be my life. I was loathe to take meds in case I would do something I shouldn’t as I was unsure how much trouble my back was really in.

Thanks for clarifying that. I typically don't give my dog anything when he seems to have mild pain such as a sore paw or leg. If I give him pain medicine, then he is more likely to run around and hurt himself further since he will forget that he is hurt. I tend to do the same thing myself!
