    65 mg

    Explanation:

    We are given the dosage per pound but have the weight of the dog in kilograms, thus we should convert the 29.5 kg to punds (1 pound = 0.454 kg):

    29.5 kg x 1 lb / 0.454 kg = 64.7 lbs

    So now can answer our question:

    (1 mg / lb) x 64.7 lb = 64.7

    rounding to 65 mg
