Um NO

As the others said, please consult a vet before giving any medication. Is he neutered?

CriticalCareVet : Avodart (dutasteride) is not used in dogs.

It works by affecting testosterone level in the body.

The drug can cause allergic reactions, vomiting, diarrhea, appetite loss, and lethargy.
