Whatever dosage the veterinarian recommended.
Ibuprofen should not be used unless recommended by your veterinarian. Ibuprofen has a narrow therapeutic index in domestic small animals and very small changes in the dosage level can lead to toxicity. Ibuprofen should not be used in animals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the drug, its components, or other NSAIDs. Always give with food. The usual dose in dogs is 2.5 to 4 mg per pound (5 to 8 mg/kg) every 12 hours.

The answer to this question is no!!! There is safe Ibuprofen dosage for dogs. There are some suggestions that Ibuprofen dosages for dogs are safe at 10 to 20 mg per pound of their body weight, but there is also a vast majority of the medical community that states it is only safe at 2 to 4 grams per pound of body weight and then only under the direct supervision and testing by your veterinarian. But here is what you consider before you give your dog even 1 gram per body weight. Drug poisoning is the number one cause of poisoning in dogs, and ibuprofen is the number one drug that leads to poisoning as documented by the American Veterinary Medical Association. They are thousands of dogs die worldwide every year because of this drug.
