None - you should never give Advil (or any other over-the-counter pain medication for people) to your dog. Dogs are very sensitive to the side effect that causes stomach bleeding and even one pill can be enough to cause a fatal gastric ulcer.

∙ 15y agoYou can give a dog ibuprofen, but it is highly recommended to consult a vet in order to get the proper mg/kg dosing. A regular adult dose is based on an average adult, who weighs much more than a dog. Overdosing can cause major stomach problems, like ulcers, and liver necrosis (death).

∙ 14y agoAdvil is poisonous to dogs, do not give it. You can give a baby aspirin to a dog, but I really reccommend that you take the dog to the vet if there is something wrong and get the vet to give you medication.

Small dogs need much less and consult a vet ASAP to get approved canine pain relief. See related links below. Yes, dogs can safely take aspirin for pain. It is especially effective for joint pain, since it's an anti inflammatory, as well as a pain med. The standard dose of aspirin for dogs is 10 - 35 mg per kg of body weight. For example, if your dog weighs 45 pounds, then its weight is approximately 15 kg. Therefore, the dosage for your dog would be 150 - 350 mg. A regular aspirin tablet is 325 mg so it could be given 1 aspirin every 8 - 12 hours. That would be the maximum dosage that the dog could be given, though it's better to first start out with the lowest dosage, and then work up if needed until you reach the lowest effective dose. Also, be sure to give the aspirin with food to help avoid stomach upset. Another note: if your dog has never taken aspirin, watch it closely after giving it the first dose to be sure there is no allergic reaction. Dogs, just as humans do, can experience serious allergic reactions to some meds.
