Hello. Tylenol can be used in dogs, but you have to be very careful about the dose. We will sometimes use the lowest dose possible for the shortest period of time, but there are much better & safer medications available for dogs. George should be OK, but please do not give any more without discussing this with your veterinarian. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
