Please contact a vet before starting any type of medication for your dog to get the proper dosage as well as to make sure that the dog is healthy and able to metabolize the drugs properly without any effects. Good luck

What are you using it for? Tramadol is used by the weight, and should be prescription only. We had it for our Maltese after her surgery. It can depress their respiration and cause severe respiratory depression if you give too much. You have to be very careful with the doseage. The dose they gave our dog to begin with was the correct dose for her weight but she went out like a light and was out for a long time. When they sent us home they told us we could give it to her every 8 hours as needed, and we gave her about 1/2 the dosage they recommended because it was too strong and we couldn't get her to wake up to eat. If it wasn't prescribed for the dog you are asking for, don't use it. It is for pain. It is not for people with liver or kidney disease, but it was given to us for our dog with liver disease, so I guess since it was short term it was okay. It must not process out of the liver easily and humans would overdose on it perhaps. She only needed a few doses over the first few days, maybe 4 or 5 doses total, and seems to have been okay with it, but I wouldn't use it unless prescribed and needed for extreme pain. (our dog had surgery and her whole belly had been cut open.

I would use the NSAID first before trying tramadol. It is supposed to be non-narcotic, but it is related to morphine. What is the problem with your dog?
