Various sources, including my vet, recommended it. (Just a little info: My 6.5 lb. pommie ate about 1 1/2 c. of chicken salad and Poison Control said I needed to induce vomiting. ) Joanne

Induce vomiting for chicken salad? Did it have onions in it?

Aspirin is an NSAID that has lots of side effects. Some people believe that if a dog is in pain the benefits outweigh the risks. Others feel it is too dangerous. I personally do NOT give it but I might someday under the supervision of a vet...
