Question
CAN I GIVE MY DOG ASPRIN

Answer
Hi there!  Only baby buffered aspirin.  NEVER regular aspirin, tylenol, advil, alieve or any other over the counter human pain reliever. These are ALL potentially deadly.  Baby buffered aspirin is the only thing that is safe.
The dosage is one 5 grain tablet per 30 lbs every 6 to 8 hours.  Baby buffered aspirin should never be given for more than 72 hours without a veterinarian's consent.  Constant usage can cause wear and tear on the kidneys and liver.  
I hope this helps,
Hilary
