And Ascriptin is safer yet. Ascriptin is buffered aspirin, like Bufferin, but, also contains Maalox, which helps to protect the stomach from the damaging effects of the aspirin. I always have it with me in my K-9 1st aid kit.

Ibuprofen is *way* too strong for a dog! It can cause bleeding ulcers in no time. Not my words; every Vet I've ever spoken with, re. giving NSAIDs to dogs, has said the same thing. If Ibuprofen were safe for dogs, the drug Rimadyl would have never been developed. When a dog of mine needs something for pain/inflammation, I give *buffered* aspirin. It's far safer than Rimadyl or Ibuprofen.
