Paracetamol is not toxic to dogs, no more than it is to humans if used correctly. Pardale is a veterinary medicine that contains both paracetamol (400mg) and codeine (9mg). Dosage by oral administration. 1 tablet per12 kg body weight every 8 hours. -from Noah's.

Paracetamol is very safe in theraputic doses, but is very toxic in overdoses - and that is for both dogs and humans. The problem is, the margin between a safe theraputic dose and a toxic overdose is very slight, so if you are giving human tablets, or a mixture designed for human consumption, you can overdose accidentally. It is much better to use a veterinay preparation which will have a dosage schedule on the label or the box.
