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.

Thanks sheltiesmom. Does she list weights for dogs? I’ve got two around 30 pounds and one around 22

Unfortunately she didn’t list the weights for the dogs.

Usually 20-60lbs is considered medium.

How many days after vaccs or heartorm do we give it for?

Dr. Dodd’s recommendations:

Dog’s size Dose as % of adult human dose
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%
