How much aspirin is it safe to give my dog?

He is 14 years old and has developed arthritis.He is a Collie and Weschester Corgi mix.I know weird combination but I love him.He weighs 84 lbs.The vet gave me some medication but it costs $114.00 for 20 pills.I just can’t afford it.He said I could give him aspirin but didn’t say how much.I know not to give him acetaminophen or ibuprofen as it will shut down his liver and kidneys.

I had a Chesapeake Bay Retriever that weighed 130# and was told to give him no more than 1/2 tablet daily for hip arthritis. Bayer has a new 81mg ‘Heart Safe’ aspirin that is the right dosage for him.
