You can give dogs the capsules, the same that people take, and the amount depends on your dogs weight. According to the North American Companion Animal the dosage is 2 - 5 mg per kg of body weight. However, it's always best to use the lowest effective dose, rather than start out with the highest allowable dosage.
For example, my pug weighs 25 pounds, which is 11.34 kg. So I give her one 25 mg capsule which works very well, even though she *could* have as much as 55 mg. This can be given every 6 - 8 hours, but I never give it more than every 12 hours, unless my vet recommends it.
