Aspirin can affect dogs as much as it affects humans. It causes renal failure and affects the circulatory system. However, if you give your dog the right dosage it'll alleviate pain, reduce fever* and inflammation. Make sure you take your dog's temperature with thermoPet, the only non-contact dog's thermometer I know of. Ask your vet about the right dosage to give to your dog. Aspirin can be very toxic. Some symptoms might include anxiety, blood vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, extreme thirst, etc. Have a watchful eye if your dog shows any of these symptoms or you suspect your dog has aspirin poisoning. Keep aspirin out of your dog's reach. Don't ever leave your purse on the floor if you have any medications inside.

Your doggy will love it since is non-contact. I purchased this thermometer at Amazon for $89.99 USA dollars and thought was a good investment since there is nothing like it out there. I read on a website that the only way to know if your dog has a fever is by taking his rectal temperature* but that's not true. I searched on Google bar for a dog's thermometer and this one came out. It takes your doggy's temp without touching your pet. Due to the toxic risks of mercury, glass thermometers aren't that popular any more. If you have a mercury thermometer, you should get rid of it & dispose it properly. It's very poisonous. Don't use your thermometer on your dog. I have tried it and it never gives accurate results. You should never give human medications to your dog either. They react differently to it.
