My dog ate another dog's food with Carprofen. Is it safe for him?

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 50 lbs

Hello! I feed my dogs separately but today my little tadpole made a run for it and ate some of my other dog Sabrina’s food that she had left behind. Usually I put a 50mg Carprofen as instructed by the vet in Sabrina’s food. I dont think tadpole got it (I think Sabrina ate it first) but if tadpole DID get it, is that safe for him?

That dose of Carprofen would be pretty safe for Tadpole, so nothing to be worried about at this stage. I would recommend to continue to treat Sabrina with the sam dosage from the next one due of course.
