Ecotrin is fine for a 80 pound boxer. 325 mg twice to three times per day. But please taper down to once daily after a couple of days to avoid side effects. You should also use a good glucosamine supplement at a human adult dose. If the Ecotrin loses it's effectiveness there are a number of Non-Steroidal anti-infammatories that are also quite effective.
