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.
It is usually safe to give your dog Pepto Bismol, although check with your vet beforehand. However, this kind of medication should not be used in animals with von Willebrand's disease or other bleeding problems. It is also not suitable for dogs that are pregnant or nursing young puppies.
