No, you need to get a prescription for pain medication from your veterinarian. Dogs are very sensitive to the side effects of OTC pain medications designed for humans (such as Tylenol, Aleve, Advil, aspirin, etc.) and even one pill can be enough to cause a fatal stomach ulcer.

Is doxylamine safe for dogs?

I assume you want to administer over the counter sleeping pills to a dog. There is a lot of documenation available for giving dogs diphenhydramine which is the same ingrediant in Benydryl and in most over the counter sleeping pills. So I recommend sticking to Benydryl or an OTC sleeping pill with diphenhydramine and not expiramenting with doxylamanine. Benydryl dosage should be 1 mg for every 10lbs of dog. A 20lb dog should take 2mg of diphenhydramine.
