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.
That said, this type of aspirin can be carefully given to dogs to help with short-term pain. Itâs acceptable but the risks are somewhat higher for pets. Baby aspirin in particular, on a short term basis only, is okay but longer term canine use is more dangerous.
