I have a 10 lb dog and the vet told me i could give him one childrens asprin. This is a question that a vet would probably answer for free if you were to call.

If you ask a veterinarian, they will say that you should only give dogs pure aspirin, and not ibuprofen, because ibuprofen is toxic to dogs. If you want to give them an aspirin, one child strength pill is enough for smaller dogs, and an adult strength pill for larger dogs.

do not give your dog ibuprofin!!!!!!!!! They will bleed internally, ask any vet. Apirin isn't much better, and for sure don't give you cat aspirin.. And give neither Tylenol. Sorry, these are all really toxic to four footed furries. There is one good pain releiver for dogs, but it is from your vet only Rimadyl. My md husband gave our dobie ibuprofin, and almost killed the dog. He was bleeding internally, and lost consciousness!!!!!!!!!!

If the dog is over 20lbs give him a whole adult one crushed up in a bowl of water. It's okay. I gave my 60lb dog two and she was fine. I won't be responsible if your dog weighs less then that and you give him one.

Do not give any animal ibuprofen!! Low-dose aspirin for a dog is fine, but PLEASE consult a vet first.

how much does your dog weigh?
For most half tab would be okay i.e. 150mg
