Weight-Based Dosage Guide

Standard guideline: 5 mg per lb of body weight every 12 hours. Use our Dosage Calculator for exact mg and capsule count.

20 lb dog → 100 mg (⅔ × 150 mg cap) twice daily
40 lb dog → 200 mg (≈1 × 150 mg + ⅓ cap) twice daily
80 lb dog → 400 mg (≈1 × 300 mg + ⅓ cap) twice daily

Storage & Safety Tips

Give with food to reduce stomach upset.
Store at 68–77 °F (20–25 °C) in a dry location.
Finish the full course—stopping early can cause resistant bacteria.
Monitor for side-effects: loose stool, drooling, or loss of appetite. Severe vomiting warrants vet attention.

Is dog clindamycin the same as human clindamycin?

The active molecule is identical, but veterinary-labeled dog clindamycin provides canine weight charts, flavoring and GMP animal-facility traceability—safer than human generics.

Do I need a prescription?

No. Companion-animal antibiotics may be sold OTC when labeled for canine use. Always follow dosing guidelines and consult a veterinarian for complicated infections.

How long can my dog take clindamycin?

Typical courses run 7–14 days; bone infections may require 28 days or longer. Follow your veterinarian’s recommendations and complete the prescribed duration.
