She suggested I get this from NOW Food off the internet which I did. I don't think it's made specifically for dogs but dogs can use it.

My Shih Tzu weighs 11 lbs and the Supplement Facts on the container say:
Amount per Serving: 1.2 g (1,200 mg) Serving Size: 1 Level Teaspoon
Which isn't much of a help cause it doesn't list anything else like weight of person/dog to amount of dosage. I don't want to over dose or under dose her.
Thanks for any help you can give me. I've attached a pic of my Gracie.

You can use calcium carbonate for a dog - I have done this approach in the past, although I used tablets. However, I am not going to dose it for you, because that should be done by a professional and take your whole diet into account. Your dog is cute!
