Would You Ever Give Your Dog Aspirin?

Like humans, dogs can experience pain. Whether from injury, infection or conditions such as canine arthritis, aspirin can be given as an effective medication to help your pet control the pain and relieve inflammation.

As the owner of an elderly dog, I've considered giving my dog aspirin a few times. Apparently, it can be used safely as a short-term solution, but there are some real concerns you should know about before you start this kind of treatment.

Your vet may recommend the use of aspirin in your dog's regime, but there are several other medications that are commonly used to treat dog pain and discomfort. There are even natural alternatives to aspirin. Don't be afraid to ask your vet for more information if you don't feel comfortable giving your dog aspirin.
