Chewable Aspirin For Dogs
Chewable aspirin for dogs can be a convenient way to treat your dog for arthritis pain. Since the above canine targeted
brands are chewable they should be easy to administer to your dog. However, they are still aspirin, not a dog treat, so you will want to be careful to give only
the prescribed amount. You will also want to be careful to keep the lid on tight and keep the aspirin in a location where your
dog cannot reach it. Although many dogs aspirin meds are non-prescription, they should always be considered a serious medication as
side effects and adverse reactions are possible.
Dog aspirin can also interact adversely with certain pet medications and health
products, so you will want to discuss the aspirin regimen in detail with your pet's veterinarian before you start treatment.
The buffered variety of chewable canine aspirin is often prescribed for dogs to help
prevent gastrointestinal and upset stomach issues.

Precautions Against Giving Aspirin and Other Joint Medications To Cats:
Most canine aspirins are for dogs only. Cats have a
unique physiology that may not tolerate certain dog medications. Always visit with your veterinarian if you
think they have prescribed something for your cat that is normally for dogs only.

Non-Chewable Enteric Coated Dogs Aspirin: "Enteric Coated" and "Buffered" are terms often used to
describe aspirin meds. These terms are sometimes mistaken for being one in the same thing. Actually they are different. Buffered
aspirins are designed to be easier on the stomach by containing a base that helps reduce the acid it contains. Whereas,
enteric coated dog aspirin is designed not to dissolve until it has bypassed the stomach and reached the dog's intestine. For
this reason, enteric coated aspirins for dogs such as Excel are not usually chewable and should not be broken up before administration.
