No. It is a drug - an over-the-counter (OTC) pain killer.
Aspirin was developed by the German drug company Bayer in the 1890s as an improvement on the then commonly used pain killer Salicylic Acid (an extract of willow tree bark) which can cause extreme stomach upset.
The word aspirin is a Bayer trademark in every country except the United States (we voided all German patents and trademarks when we entered WW1) so only in the United States can a company (other than Bayer) sell aspirin labeled as aspirin (instead of its generic name acetylsalicylic acid) without paying licensing fees to Bayer.

Is it OK to give your dog 0.4 ml of aspirin?
Yes, yes it is. How much aspirin a dog can have depends on it's size and weight! If you are doubt about how much aspirin to give your dog, call your vet's office and ask them. Regular strength buffered or baby aspirins should be used, not "safety coated" aspirin. Always give aspirin with food, to help avoid an upset stomach. If the dog starts to vomit, stop giving it aspirin. Aspirin has blood thinning properties, so it can be dangerous in some dogs. For long term pain relief there are safer veterinary-specific alternatives.
