Buffered aspirin is a medication in the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is used to reduce pain and inflammation. According to Vetinfo, it is safe to dose dogs at 5 milligrams to 10 milligrams per pound of body weight. This dosage is administered every 8 to 12 hours as needed.
You can cautiously provide aspirin to your pet dog but you should consult with a vet first. A natural alternative may be equally effective and much safer. While aspirin is generally an effective remedy for dogs suffering with pain, people confuse brands and variations of NSAID pain relievers which is very dangerous.
