How it works:
The active ingredient in Vetrynol is a buffered aspirin, which is gentle on your pets stomach. Just as aspirin is a simple and reliable treatment for humans, dogs find relief from pain associated with various joint or arthritic issues.
Cautions:

Discontinue use and report any of the following symptoms to your veterinarian: vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, darkening of stool color, change in behavior or a decrease/increase in water consumption. Consult your veterinarian before administering to geriatric, pregnant, or nursing dogs. Do not give any asprin products to dogs currently on medications used to treat arthritis, inflammation, or anticoagulation (blood thinners) unless directed to do so by a veterinarian.

Prada's love in life is me and chasing her Kong ball. I had to stop her Kong ball fun until using this product, at almost nine years old she is absolutely doing great agiain. GREAT STUFF! I was prepared to have it make her sick but that did not happen.
My 165 lb Newfie is suffering from a torn ACL, we are trying to avoid surgery and felt this may help with his discomfort. The Vetrynol made him very sick, he was vomiting, lethargic, breathing seemed very labored, panting and constantly thirsty. I was actually very scared for him. We took him off the Vetynol and with in 48 hours he was back to normal, still uncomfortable with his leg, but friendly and aware of his surroundings.
After about 2 days you could start seeing a difference in her. After being on them daily for awhile she is back to her old self od running and jumping. I give them to both of my dogs for bad hips. Would highly reccommend to anyone for their dogs A very good price and the shipping is subperb.
The medication was way too strong for my dog My little dog only weighs 5lbs. and the first night I gave him a quarter of a pill. He slept allm night and all day the next day. I didn't give him one the following night because he was still really sleepy. I gave him an eighth of a pill the next night and he didn't do any better. I am now back to half a baby aspirin. He seems to be doing alright. I would not reccomend this to anyone. DyanneHenderson

Breed::yellow labrador
"good stuff!!!"
lillie glen is 125 lbs worth of yellow labrador. she is almost 10 years old. just like us she gets aches and pains when getting older. this vetrin asperin is terrific. she eats it like a pet tab, and within 3 days she was not limping or acting in pain going up and down the stairsteps. i can't answer the taste category above as i didn't taste it and lillie doesn't talk !! however, it must be ok with her. i hope she will be taking it for a long time to come.
I have a 13 year old husky who is having problems with his joints. We gave him baby asprin, but he had problems with the 80mg dosage. Is this product safer for him?
Vetrin is aspirin in a chewable tablet form. If your pet "had problems" with a baby aspirin (81 mg), I have to assume he will also have them with the Vetrin brand of aspirin. You may want to consider a joint supplement such as Super Joint Enhancer which contains glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM.
I'm glad you had a positive response to giving aspirin. I am concerned, however, about the side effect potential for long term use of aspirin. I would suggest that you can give Rimadyl one day and Aspirin the next. However, I would recommend you ask your veterinarian this question as well.
When I clicked "Joint Pain" under Joints, I didn't see Vetrin Aspirin come up, but in the description it states, "Relieves multiple symptoms, including pain, fever, and inflammation associated with joint issues"
