    No you can't...........

    From Google:-

    While there are similar medications for dogs, giving them products made for humans could do more harm than good. ... In fact, cats do not tolerate acetaminophen at all, but it may be used in dogs in some cases for pain control, although toxicity can occur if too much is given.Google:-

    Can I give my dog Calpol? Infant suspensions, such as Calpol, contain paracetamol. While paracetamol is occasionally used in dogs, it was formulated for humans so can be dangerous. ... There are other drugs used by vets that have similar effects to paracetamol and are not as damaging to the liver.Feb 2, 2017
