Dog Ibuprofen & Acetaminophen Toxicity Calculator

Assess toxicity risk if your dog consumed human pain medications. Both ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) are toxic to dogs and can cause serious organ damage.

TOXIC TO DOGS: Never give human pain medications to dogs without veterinary guidance. Ibuprofen causes severe gastrointestinal and kidney damage. Acetaminophen causes liver failure and destroys red blood cells. Call your vet immediately if ingestion occurred.

How This Calculator Works▼

Why These Medications Are Dangerous: Dogs metabolize drugs differently than humans. Their bodies cannot safely process ibuprofen or acetaminophen at human doses.

Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin):

Mild toxicity: 50-100 mg/kg - stomach upset, vomiting
Moderate toxicity: 100-200 mg/kg - GI bleeding, ulcers
Severe toxicity: 200+ mg/kg - kidney failure, seizures

Acetaminophen (Tylenol):

Toxic dose: 100-150 mg/kg
Severe toxicity: 200+ mg/kg
Causes liver failure and methemoglobinemia (red blood cell damage)

What We Calculate: This tool calculates the dose in mg/kg of body weight and compares it to known toxic thresholds. We provide guidance based on veterinary toxicology data.

Treatment Window: If ingestion occurred within the last 1-2 hours, your vet may induce vomiting or administer activated charcoal. IV fluids and medications to protect the stomach, kidneys, and liver may be needed. Time is critical.
