White willow bark extract
This is a natural form of aspirin
Or to be more accurate, aspirin is a synthetic chemical mixture that was developed in an attempt to replicate white willow bark using cheaper materials and to make it available in parts of the world where white willow was not available
You could just use aspirin, but animals do not always respond well to synthetic drugs so it is best to stick with the natural stuff
Do determine the dosage, treat the animal is if it were a child and base the dosage on what you would give a child of the same weight (this is typically one half or as little as one eighth of an adult dosage)
If you plan to make this a regular habit (such as for an animal with Arthritis), be sure to consult a vet for a more accurate dosing regimen

∙ 10y agoNo, and actually you should not give your dog any over the counter medication that is sold for human use. Dogs are not small humans, and a pill that may be very safe for a human can be toxic or lethal to a dog. The best example of this is the entire spectrum of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), including Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, paracetamol, aspirin, ibuprofen, etc - these drugs can cause fatal stomach ulcers very quickly in dogs.
