Is the tramadol prescribed for human use the same as a veterinarian would prescribe for a dog?

As my friend, Stephen, says tramadol is tramadol and is commonly used in Veterinary medicine. Actually, approximately 95% of what veterinarians prescribe are *human* medications because it would be cost prohibitive and redundant to develop and market existing human drugs for a strictly veterinary market when they are equally safe and effective for animals.
HOWEVER, the dosages vary greatly ~ often higher than the human dose ~and are, unlike human medications, based strictly on an exact weight and knowledge of medical history.
Never give your dog or cat any medication except under the directions of your veterinarian.

One and the same. I can give my 30 lb dog up to 50mg for pain as prescribed by my vet.

Tramadol is Tramadol. The only thing I have learned about use with animals is that dogs take/(tolerate?) a higher dose in mg/Kg than humans. Member WildCatVet is the authority. This factoid came about after someone thought they had overdosed their dog.

Take care of the dogs pain.
