Is it safe to give my daschund a *small* amount of tylenol PM? Or some other small amount of sleep aid? He just walks around all night.

Is it safe to give him ANY sort of sleep aid? if not, are their any sleep aids prescribed specifically for dogs?

NO, any Tylenol is NOT safe for ANY dog. Every anti inflammatory accept aspirin, damaged the liver and can cause liver failure, sometimes very fast. I honestly think you should check with your vet. I was a vet tech for 18 years and my vet would prescribe different things for dogs who paced at night. I am assuming your daschund is an older dog, with older dog this isn't unusual. You could try a baby aspirin, but I doubt if that would help. Good luck with your dog.♥♥

Do not trust the health of your dog to people that you do not know. If your dog is having sleeping problems, seek professional help. If you can not do so at this time, before bed, either play or walk the dog so it gets tired out. That is a natural sleep remedy. Under no condition should you give it any medication that is not prescribed for it, as you might accidentally kill it, and then how would you feel?

NO!
Bad bad bad idea.
Instead crate train him... he will learn to love his crate.
Also is he getting enough exercise? Try tiring him out before bed.. Daschunds are little dogs with big dog energy requirements.

No, Tylenol is deadly, especially to small dogs. If you need a sedative for your dog, your vet can prescribe one (like Ace Promazine, Torbugesic etc)

Tylenol: As little as two regular strength Tylenol tablets can kill a small dog. Dogs lack the proper liver enzymes to break down acetaminophen. Signs of toxicity include drooling, lethargy, and abdominal pain. If you suspect your dog has ingested Tylenol, call your veterinarian immediately.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Aspirin is bad too (and advil, aleve, ect) your vet can prescribe a special dog analgesic that is safe.
Why are you even considering giving her a sleep aid? Close the cabinet and walk away, slowly.

Absolutely NOT!!!!
If your dog walks around at night simply crate train him or confine him to a small area at night. Also make sure he gets plenty of exercise.

NO, please, dont. I love doggies and i'm sure you love your puppy, so save your cute daschunds life by not giving him any type of human drug!
My parents tried to give my dog some tylenol (cause they didnt know any better)
but my dog refused to eat it anyways.
He doesnt like dayquil, nyquil, or any of that stuff but its different with any dog.

Personally i hate dogs and recommend you do it. But for the sake of being humane, don't. My parents take their two lab puppies out for a walk or make them chase a lazer before bed so that they will fall asleep.
