A low dose of aspirin is generally safe. Itâs a short-term treatment if your dog needs relief for aches and pains. Puppies, however, should never be given this pill. Itâs too risky. Sadly, many folks are quick to give dangerous meds to their animals and the results are often fatal.
Proper Aspirin Dosage and Frequency. The recommended aspirin dosage for dogs is 5 mg to 10 mg per pound of your dog's weight, administered once during a 12-hour period. An adult aspirin is 320 mg; a baby aspirin is 80 mg. The lowest dosage will likely provide adequate relief. If not, your vet may instruct you to gradually increase the dosage. Aspirin can be toxic if given in high doses of about 30 mg per pound. For example, a baby aspirin could poison a dog weighing 2 pounds or less, and an adult aspirin could poison a dog weighing about 10 pounds.
