How many baby aspiring instead of regular aspirin?
How much you give of either buffered adult aspirin or baby aspirins depends on the weight of your dog: A dog that weighs 8 lbs, would get 1/2 baby aspirin or less. A dog weighing 16 lbs, would get 1 baby aspirin. A dog weighing 32 lbs, would get 1/2 buffered adult aspirin or 2 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 48 lbs, would get 3/4 buffered adult aspirin or 3 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 64 lbs, would get 1 buffered adult aspirin or 4 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 80 lbs, would get 1 1/4 buffered adult aspirin or 5 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 96 lbs, would get 1 1/2 buffered adult aspirin or 6 baby aspirins. Aspirin can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers in dogs, just as in humans. You should pay attention to your dog's eating habits when you have been giving it aspirin to watch for signs of an upset stomach (such as not wanting to eat, or vomiting) and stop giving the aspirin. To minimize stomach problems, always give food with the aspirin.

Why is there such a thing as baby aspirin when babies cannot take it due to the risk of Reye's syndrome?
I have not seen baby aspirin marketed for years. Baby aspirin was available before the association with Reye's syndrome was established, but since then has apparently been removed from the market. There is still a chewable 81mg aspirin available, probably for low dose heart attack prevention. Furthermore, aspirin may still be necessary for treating some childhood illnesses, but under a doctor's order.

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.
Is baby aspirin good for adults?
Yes! It is just the right dosage for adults, particularly older ones, who want to obtain benefits to their hearts and circulation, as well as those who use it to help ward off colon cancer. I see that Bayer, I think it is, has come out with an adult aspirin for those of us who take baby aspirin regularly. There is no difference to speak of, between them, but it's a way to take advantage of the current knowledge we have about aspirin's advantages. Any aspirin can result in bleeding a little more readily from cuts (or surgery) and can irritate the stomach lining. Some may be allergic to aspirin.
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.
