How much aspirin should I give my dog?

[all4equines]

you can give a baby aspirin, no more than 81 mg. BUT aspirin won't work as well as some of the other prescription meds out there for dogs. Put the dog on a daily joint supplement & ask your vet about Rimadyl, Duramax, & Metacam.

only a vet should give out pain meds for your dog

Aspirin is ok for dogs. To reduce stomach irritation, use buffered aspirin or give aspirin at mealtime. For chronic arthritis pain, they have prescription drugs that are much safer and far more effective. Giving your dog aspirin more often than twice a week is a probably a bad idea.

Use 5 grain (325 mg) aspirin tablets.

A 60 to 80 lb dog may be given one tablet twice a day (every 12 hours) or 1/2 tablet three times a day (every eight hours). A 30 to 40 lb dog gets half as much; a 15 to 20 lb dog a quarter as much.

NOTHING unless told by a vet. Animal digestion is different, and you should never medicate an animal without proper consultation from someone qualified.
