Hi and thank you for your question on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While Dextromethorphan (the active ingredient) in Tussin Adult Cough Medicine can be given to dogs, Unfortunately for legal reasons, I cannot give dosage information for over the counter human made drugs through the internet. You may inquire about the dosages of this medication through your primary care veterinarian. So sorry and I hope Have feels better soon!
