how much baby aspirin can i give my dog
Hi Petra, I'm trying to figure out how I can give baby aspirin to my dog for pain. What's the safe dosage?
Hi! I would absolutely advise consulting with a certified veterinarian first because dosages can drastically differ depending on the size, weight, and health status of your dog. However, a general guideline for dogs, as supported by many veterinarians, often suggests around 5-10mg of aspirin per pound of your pet's weight, repeated every 12 hours.
Can you help me calculate how much is the suitable dose for my dog? He weighs 30 pounds.
Sure, based on the general guideline, it's 5-10 mg per pound. So, for a 30-pound dog, it would be 150mg-300mg every 12 hours. However, this is a broad range and giving medication to your pet without professional consultation is dangerous. Please consult with your veterinarian.
Thank you for the information, Petra. I will definitely consult with a veterinarian before taking any action.
That's very wise of you. Your pet's safety and health should always come first. Always consult with a professional before administering any medication. Is there anything else you would like to discuss?
