Consider that a person weighing about 150 lbs. on average, will take approximately 3 (three) capsules per day. Based on this, a dog weighing about 50 lbs. would then take approximately 1 (one) capsule per day.
Keep in mind that some people will double or triple their dosage without side effect. Therefore, even for a small dog of 10 to 15 lbs., a one-capsule-per-day dosage should also suffice without side effect.
However, for very small dogs, consider administering just a half capsule.
