Buffered aspirin or baby aspirin, yes.
Tylenol, no.
Aspirin should only be given per your vets instructions/advice.

NOTE Tylenol is "NOT RECOMMENDED" on the chart!

Baby asprin, IF the vet says it is ok. Even the coated asprin can cause stomach upset for some dogs, and can cause prolonged bleeding.
STAY AWAY from Tylenol (acetominaphen), Advil (ibuprofen), Aleve (naproxin), Vicodin (hydrocodone). Pretty much anything in your medicine cabinet is toxic to your pets. If pain control is what you need, there are great veterinary NSAIDS and synthetic opiates that are safe and effective, and give much better, longer lasting results than baby asprin, such as Rimadyl, Tramadol, Previcoxx, Deramaxx.

No, never give a cat or even a dog tylenol or aspirin, because it will kill them. If sick, call a vet.

NO Tynelol at all. It can cause liver and renial failure in dogs.
A baby asprin for a dog is fine.

NEVER give a dog Tylenol. Dogs' kidneys cannot process this medicine. (this is from Poison Control.)

REGULAR ASPIRIN WILL UPSET THE DOGS TUMMY, USE ENTERIC COATED ASPIRIN, ASK YOUR VET FOR DOSE FOR YOUR DOGS SIZE YOU MAY HAVE TO GET THE 81MG ONE FOR A SMALL DOG, TYLENOL IS NOT LIVER FRIENDLY. YOUR DOGS LIVER DOES NOT PROCESS ACETAMINOPHEN WELL,NEVER EVER USE IBUPROFEN.

Neither is really a good idea... the vet has a specific pain killer for dogs... get some Rimadyl
