How the Dog Ibuprofen Toxicity Calculator works
Estimated dose = pill strength (mg) × number swallowed ÷ dog weight (kg). Veterinary references report acute gastrointestinal signs around 100–125 mg/kg, renal failure around 175–300 mg/kg, severe neurologic effects above 400 mg/kg and potentially lethal exposures above 600 mg/kg. Individual risk can occur outside these ranges.
Frequently asked questions
Can I give my dog ibuprofen for pain?+
Ibuprofen is not recommended for dogs unless specifically directed by a veterinarian. Human over-the-counter dosing should not be used for pets.
What if my dog only ate one pill?+
Risk depends heavily on dog size and pill strength. A single tablet can be significant for a small dog, so contact a veterinarian or poison service for advice.
Calculator outputs are estimates for education and planning. They do not diagnose disease, replace a physical examination, or override advice from a veterinarian who knows your dog.
