Although not technically approved for veterinary use, Aspirin is typically used with dogs for short term pain relief, such as after surgery or a major injury. Long-term use of most NSAIDs made for humans (like Tylenol, Aspirin and Advil) comes with side effects, and is not recommended by veterinarians. These drugs can irritate the stomach and intestinal lining causing ulcers and inflammation. An overdose can cause renal (kidney) failure. Sadly, Aspirin is the most common poison for dogs. Puppies and cats, who metabolize salicylate much slower than mature dogs, have almost no tolerance for Aspirin, Advil or Tylenol and should NEVER be given these.
