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.
Dogs should only be given aspirin when they really need it, and not every time they are feeling slightly ill. Pet owners should administer aspirin with extreme caution, because large doses of aspirin can prove to be toxic for a dog. Smaller breeds of dogs especially are more prone to overdosing on aspirin. Always give your dog aspirin with food, and never on an empty stomach.
