Be very careful with aspirin - it can be toxic to dogs. Never give it to a cat.
It can be toxic if given in high doses of about 30 mg (milligram) per pound of the dog. This means that even a baby aspirin could be poisonous for dogs weighing two pounds or less. An adult aspirin, which is 320 mg, would be toxic for a 10-pound dog. So even 1/2 an aspirin to too much for a 5-lb dog. and they'll live without it - don't do it.

How old must your dog be to take aspirin?
Dosage is by weight not age. The recommended dosage of aspirin varies a little but it is between 5 and 15mg/lb every 12 hours. Be safe and pick the middle of it and go for about 10mg/lb every 12 hours. This usually works well and seems to be pretty safe. Aspirin can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers so use with caution.
