When dosing by weight for diarrhea or generalized upset stomach, itâs recommended that the standard liquid Pepto Bismol formula (17.5 mg of bismuth subsalicylate per milliliter) is administered at a rate of 0.5 mL per pound, or 1 U.S. teaspoon for every 10 pounds of a dogâs body weight.
When Not to Use Pepto-Bismol for Dogs. Just because your dog has an intestinal upset doesn't mean you should automatically turn to Pepto-Bismol.
