    According to Dr. Becker’s book, most standardized milk thistle capsules are 100-125 mg.

    small dogs 1/2 capsule daily
    medium dogs 1 capsule daily
    large/giant dog 1 capsule twice daily.

    5 lbs 10%
    5-10 lbs 15%
    11-20 lbs 20%
    21-40 lbs 30%
    41-70 lbs 50%
    71-100 lbs 75%
    100 lbs 100%
