                                                          The FDA has approved some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for use in dogs. Veterinarians can, however, legally prescribe human drugs to animals unless it presents a risk to the public health. This type of use is known as extralabel, or off-label, for uses not listed on the label.
