Overview
You can lower the maintenance dose to every other day after your pet shows consistent indications of improvement. Maintenance doses are acceptable to administer to healthy dogs for long-term joint support. You may opt to pull the capsules apart and administer in your pet`s usual meal by simply sprinkling the capsule`s contents on top. Wet or moist food is preferable for ensuring that your pet gets the entire amount. The first administration time is recommended to be 4 to 6 weeks. Certain dogs, on the other hand, may react more swiftly. Reduce the daily number of capsules to maintenance levels at that time. Initial Dosing Recommendations (4 to 6 weeks): Dogs Under 10 Lbs: 1/2 Capsule Daily (PM) Dogs 10-24 Lbs: 1 Capsule Daily (1/2 AM and 1/2 PM) Dogs 25-49 Lbs: 2 Capsules Daily (1 AM and 1 PM) Dogs 50-100 Lbs: 3 Capsules Daily (2 AM and 1 PM) Dogs Over 100 Lbs: 4 Capsules Daily (2 AM and 2 PM) Maintenance Dosing Recommendations (After Initial Period): Dogs Under 10 Lbs: 1/4 Capsule Daily (PM) Dogs 10-24 Lbs: 1/2 Capsule Daily (PM) Dogs 25-49 Lbs: 1 Capsule Daily (1/2 AM and 1/2 PM) Dogs 50-100 Lbs: 1 to 2 Capsules Daily (1/2 to 1 AM and 1/2 to 1 PM) Dogs Over 100 Lbs: 2 Capsules Daily (1 AM and 1 PM)
