No, dogs are not small humans and do not react the same to human medications. Dogs are extremely sensitive to the side effects of Motrin (and all other human over-the-counter pain medicines like Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, paracetamal, aspirin, ibuprofin, etc); a single pill can be enough to cause fatal stomach ulcers in your dog.
If you believe your dog would benefit from pain medication, you need to make an appointment with your veterinarian. There are safe pain medications for dogs, but you need a veterinary prescription to access them.
If you need to give your dog any type home remedy pain med, it's better to give them, a LOW DOSE ASPIRIN such as BABY ASPIRIN. NOT MOTRIN.
NEVER give your dog Tylenol or Motrin, only aspirin!!! I repeat never anything but aspirin!! Tylenol is toxic!!
Why on earth would you give a puppy motrin? You moron!!!
The recommended dosage of Motrin (ibuprofen) for a dog is 5 mg to 10 mg per pound of body weight given every 12 hours. For a 25-pound dog, this would be 125 mg to 250 mg every 12 hours. However, ibuprofen should only be given to dogs under the guidance of a veterinarian as it can be toxic to them.
Motrin should never be in a dog's blood in the first place....it is a human medicine which can make animals very ill. If your dog has ingested, or been given Motrin, take it to your Vet (or the local Emergency Vet) immediately.
call a vet
Motrin is great
only if you want to kill your dog <by jessica>

Motrin.
Yes, you can. You can alternate Tylenol (acetaminophen) with Motrin (ibuprofen) every four hours. This can significantly help when trying to fight a fever.
None, what is wrong with puppy?
