How It Works
Dogs metabolise ibuprofen far more slowly than humans and are dramatically more sensitive to its toxic effects. Even a single standard 200mg tablet can cause serious harm in a small dog. At 5mg/kg, ibuprofen causes gastric ulceration. At 25mg/kg, kidney damage occurs. Above 50mg/kg, neurological signs including seizures can appear, and doses above 100mg/kg are potentially lethal.
Veterinary Research
Every formula is derived from peer-reviewed veterinary studies and clinical guidelines, not guesswork or generic rules.
