I crushed some up like baby powder and mixed it in with some soft food and my dog seemed to be just fine.
That is how I give my dog aspirin. He weighs 66lbs, so his dose is 330mg. (5-10mg per pound).
No aspirin can kill a dog.
*****Correction******
A therapeutic dose of aspirin will NOT kill a dog. Where do you get this misinformation? And why do you feel the need to spread it?
A typical aspirin dose is 5 to 10 mg per pound (10 to 20 mg/kg) twice daily for dogs. Always take with food.
Dogs can not have muscle relaxers if you give them muscle relaxers Cats can't either If you do take them to the Nearest vet

Dogs should not be given any human-intended drugs or medicinal substances. Please consult a trained veterinarian for suitable medications.
If you have experience with positive results and/or are trained, you could try a gentle massage. However, you should be careful with that.
Dogs love to get massages. Start at his head and work your way down to his tail.
Dogs should not be given medicine that is meant for humans. Veterinarians can prescribe a muscle relaxer that is meant for a dog to take.
I would consult a Vet before giving any animal a muscle relaxant, especially if it is not meant for that specific animal. Http:onegeeksvoice.blogspot.com
It very well may Die... don't do it! Flexeril is a powerful muscle relaxer and the heart is a muscle, you do the math! What makes you think your dog has sore muscles or are you just a bored sadist?
Baby aspiring can be given to dogs every 8 to 12 hours. Do not give your dog baby aspirin without consulting your veterinarian.
NEVER give your dog Tylenol or Motrin, only aspirin!!! I repeat never anything but aspirin!! Tylenol is toxic!!
Yes you can give a dog aspirin..BUT.. be careful not to use human aspirin as this tends to be stronger and can be extremely toxic to dog's. The best thing to do is pick up some aspirin that has been designed specifically for dogs. There are quite a lot of good dog aspirin that you can pick up off of www.amazon.com, that will come with dosage guidelines.
I'd check with your vet first, aspirin can upset the stomach, not all antbiotics will agree with pets, if your vet gave you the amoxicillin did they mention to give aspirin also? Aspirin not recommended by your vet can be fatal to your dog. Never ever give aspirin made for human consumption to your dogs.
It is not a good idea to give a dog a baby aspirin if he has an enlarged heart unless you have spoken with your dogs veterinarian. Your veterinarian will be able to give the correct dosage amount for your dog.
Yes, but check with your veterinarian first to determine how much to give, or if aspirin is appropriate. Do not give your dog aspirin meant for humans. Specially prepared aspirin for dogs is available in pet stores. Coated aspirin may be acceptable, but check with your vet first. Your vet may also be able to prescribe other painkillers that are more effective for dogs. Do not give aspirin to your dog if it is taking any sort of n-said medication. See your vet for details.
No Never give Advil to a dog or cat. It is dangerous. You need to check with your Veterinarian as to why you wish to give Advil to your pet that is already taking pheno. Buffered aspirin is the only safe thing to give to your pet but again you need to check with your Vet before giving any aspirin.
No - Bufferin is buffered aspirin and can be fatal to dogs.
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.
No - dogs should never be given human pain medications (Tylenol, aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, ibuprofen, etc.). Dogs are very sensitive to the side effects, which can be fatal. If you believe your dog would benefit from pain medication, you will need to make an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination. There are safe pain medications available for dogs, but you need a veterinary prescription to get them.
If you need to give your dog any type home remedy pain med, it's better to give them, a LOW DOSE ASPIRIN such as BABY ASPIRIN. NOT MOTRIN.
