Dog has arthritis. Alieve or aspirin?

I heard that this helps relieve the pain. I was wondering what is better Alieve or aspirin. and how much? My dog weighs 60lbs.

If there is an alternative medicine that is better please let me know.

Thx for the help.

Answer:
Neither! Both these medications can be toxic to dogs. Contact your veterinarian for appropriate pain relief for your dog.

DO NOT GIVE /to dog /call vet/ and/ ask them
dont give your dog anything without asking your vet first
A vet can give you some medicine for his arthritis that will be better for him.
