Accepted Answer

Your dog can have a plain 325 mg buffered aspirin twice a day.

 

Do not give any Tylenol, Advil or Aleve. (acetaminophen, ibuprofen or naproxen) as these are dangerous to dogs. ONLY buffered aspirin.

 

If your dog shows any signs of vomiting or bloody stools while taking the aspirin, please stop giving it immediately and contact your veterinarian.

 

Please be sure to tell your vet that you have been giving the dog aspirin at your visit, as this may make a difference in any medication they prescribe.

 

Good luck!

 

Dr. Tanis!
