Common questions
- Can I give my dog human paracetamol instead?
- No - dose and formulation are dog-specific. Human paracetamol can be toxic to dogs at the wrong dose. Always use a veterinary product on prescription.
- Is Pardale-V addictive?
- Low-dose codeine carries a low addiction risk in dogs on short courses. Long-term use should be reviewed by your vet.
