For a 20-pound dog, the general guideline for aspirin dosage is approximately 5 to 10 mg per pound of body weight every 12 hours. This means a 20-pound dog could receive between 100 mg and 200 mg of aspirin per dose. However, it is crucial to consult a veterinarian before administering aspirin, as they can provide the appropriate dosage and ensure it is safe for your dog's specific health conditions. Always monitor your dog for any adverse reactions when giving medication.

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.

Would the equivalent dosage lb or kg apply when giving a dog Tylenol or aspirin as a painkiller eg 120 lb person takes 1 Tylenol 60 lb dog takes 12 Tylenol?

Tylenol will kill a dog, as will Ibuprofen. You may give a 60 lb dog 1 unbuffered aspirin. This should only be given once in a great while because it is hard on their stomachs. If your dog needs a pain killer more often, go to your vet and get a pet friendly pain killer like Rimadyl. Even Rimadyl should be given in moderation.
