Carvedilol Dosing for Dogs By Weight
Important Safety Information
Initial recommendations: 0.2 mg/kg q24h PO, followed by gradually increasing the frequency to q12h, and followed by increases up to a maximum of 0.4 mg/kg q12h.
More recent evidence suggests a dose of 1.5 mg/kg q12h PO is more effective, but even these doses have not been effective in some dogs.
