As my vet put it aspirin should only be used short term. Mostly as an emergency situation. Only use until your vet and you can work out a better treatment plan (and make sure to get the directions on using it from your vet based on your dog's breed, weight, past health records, and current physical condition.)

It should also be crushed and administered in liquid so that it'll go right to the bloodstream, and out of the digestive system ASAP.

As always i recommend EVA in the case of arthritis. (If that is what the vet has determined the dog is suffering from.)
