Hello, yes that dose of clindamycin is adequate for a 35lb dog. Consult with your veterinaria about a prescription for this medication to treat Jasper's dental infection. Sometimes, different antibiotics or a longer course of this antibiotic may be necessary for severe dental infections. Hope this helps and best of luck.
