Yes you can but it might be kinder to get your furry friend a script of his own. See a vet maybe.

I have a dog how do you know it's okay to do that? Did u ask a vet,because you have to be careful they might have allergic reaction. So I am just saying. Kimber

A vet here commented on the same enquiry a year or so ago and went as far as telling us that dogs do metabolise it differently than humans and take larger amount pound for pound than we do. I is anecdotal but I will direct you to a discussion on this issue: https://www.drugs.com/answers/safe-tramadol-treating-dog-pain-1679949.html
I hope this re-assures you.
