Arthritis in dogs

My 9 year old German Shepherd has developed arthritis. He has been on glucosamine/chondroitin for some time but I want to start him on aspirin to make him more comfortable. My question is:can human aspirin be safely used in dogs? He is 92 lbs. so he could handle a regular 325mg. aspirin. Medications formulated specifically for dogs are expensive and I wanted to try regular aspirin if it would not be harmful to him.
