None - aspirin (and all other human pain medications like Tylenol, Aleve, Advil, Motrin, ibuprofen, acetominophen, etc.) are very toxic to dogs. You can cause a fatal stomach ulcer in a dog with these medications.
If you believe your dog would benefit from pain medication, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian. There are safe and relatively cheap medications available to help manage mild pain in dogs, but it takes a veterinary prescription to get them.

∙ 10y agoI'm general A 325 mg pill is just fine for a 65 lb dog. (just one, every 12-24 hours) You should also use buffered aspirin specifically. HOWEVER, you should always call your vet to be sure. They'll be able to give you the best advice for your dog's age, breed, etc. To verify this information you can just Google it. (too many links to share) I was looking to confirm my memory was correct and found this question after I did confirm and thought I would share the knowledge. Good luck!

∙ 11y agoNone- dogs are very sensitive to the side effects of aspirin and you could cause a fatal stomach ulcer with it. If you think your dog would benefit from pain medication, you need to talk to your veterinarian and get a prescription for a drug that is safe to use in dogs.

∙ 11y agoFor a 60lb dog, use 1 aspirin tablet (320 mg) or or 4 baby aspirins every 12 hours, if needed. If 1/2 a tablet works, it's alway better to use less, if you can get away with it.
Give the aspirin dose with food. Use buffered aspirin, or regular (non-coated) aspirin only. If your dog begins to vomit or doesn't want to eat, discontinue the aspirin use.

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.
