You DON'T give your animal any human medication not prescribed by a vet it could kill them.
AnswerI agree wholeheartedly with the above answer, but there are cases in which your vet may PRESCRIBE a low dose of aspirin for your dog. Certain dosages are toxic to dogs. So you must get a vet's advice and not try to decide for yourself what dosage is safe for your dog. AnswerMost vets would recommend 5mg to 10mg per pound of the dog's weight, or about 10-20mg per kg weight.However dogs taking aspirin for chronic pain relief must have a physical examination, and blood and urine testing done every 2 to 3 months to monitor for side effects.

∙ 11y agoNo - dogs are very sensitive to the side effects and even one pill can be enough to cause a fatal stomach ulcer. Other human pain medications (Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, ibuprofen, acetominophen, etc.) have the same problem and also should not be given.
If you believe your dog would benefit from pain medication to manage his Arthritis, make an appointment with your veterinarian. There are safe medications for this, but they are only available with a veterinarian's prescription.
