DOSING:
DOGS/CATS:  Under 20 lbs/10 kg, 5 drops; 21-60 lbs/ 10-30 kg, 10 drops; 61-100 lbs/ 30-45 kg, 15 drops; over 100 lbs/45 kg, 20 drops. 
In acute cases (those with sudden onset), the doses can be given every 15 minutes, up to 4 doses. 
For cases that are not acute (chronic, long term problems), one dose 3 times daily. 
Once a response is seen, administration should be reduced to 2 times daily and eventually once daily.  If reduction causes symptoms to worsen, original dosing may be continued a little longer before reducing.  If a remedy is working well and dosing is not reduced, an aggravation of symptoms from overuse may occur.  Stopping the remedy for 3 days will reverse the symptoms, and then treatment can begin as if using for the first time, weaning down as mentioned above.

Pets under 1 lb: All pets under 1 lb should be dosed by putting one(1) to two(2) drops in drinking water daily.

BIRDS:  A caged bird can be medicated with 2 drops in the drinking water daily. 

SMALL MAMMALS:  Rabbits, ferrets, hamsters and pot bellied pigs can be dosed by weight as for cats and dogs in previous section.

For severe cases a drop can be diluted in 1 ml of water or other oral rehydration fluid and given to the patient orally, taking care to avoid aspiration of the fluid into the respiratory tract by the patient.  3 doses whose volume is appropriate to the size of the patient should be given from the diluted product over a 24 hour period, e.g. 2 drops for a mouse or small budgie, 4 drops for a large guinea pig.  For acute cases it can be repeated as for cats and dogs in previous dosing section.



Each remedy comes in a 15 ml liquid dropper bottle and may be dosed directly into the mouth, in food/treat or in water/milk. There are approximately 350 –375 drops per bottle. For a pet under 20 lbs/10 kg one bottle will last 3-4 weeks, dosing 3 times daily. For a pet 20-100 lbs/10-50 kg, one bottle will last 10 – 13 days at 3 doses daily.
All HomeoPet remedies are the same size and administered in the same manner.
HomeoPet formulas are fast acting, non-sedating and non-habit forming.
