DIGESTIVE CONDITIONS
When it comes to regular/everyday dosing for digestive conditions, we recommend sticking with the typical dosing recommendations found on the product guide page or by following the instructions below.
Please note that if your animal has a sensitivity to MCT oil (fractionated coconut oil) or has issues with their pancreas, your animal may require different dosing instructions. While MCT oil is considered a safe/better alternative for animals with pancreatitis, if either of these statements is true for your animal, please contact us directly for more information.
Cats
-
We recommend cats start with the 120mg or 300mg bottles (depending on their weight - click here for more information) and administer 1/8 - 1/4 of the dropper full, twice a day. When dealing with anxiety, let's try starting with 1/8 of the dropper, we can then increase if we need to. If your cat is in pain, it would be best to start with 1/4 of the dropper. After giving them the oil, watch for signs of improvement.
-
Improvement: On day 4 you can drop the dosage down to once a day for another few days. In another 4-5 days, drop the dosage to every 2-3 days. You'll know if you need to continue with the once a day dosage or if once every few days or if once a week is enough for your pet.
-
No improvement: Raise the level by 1/8 dropper and give once a day, for another 3 days. If still no change, increase by another 1/8 dropper and again monitor. Continue slowly raising until the required results are present.
-
The dosage will differ with each cat. Some cats need the drops once a day, some every 2-3 days, and some are good with once a week. No one knows your fur baby as you do and you'll know how often you'll need to give it to them.
Dogs
-
When it comes to dosing, we always recommend that the animals begin with roughly 0.1mg/kg, twice a day, and slowly work their way up until they are receiving a daily total of 1mg/kg or until they are starting to feel relief.
-
Please note that every animal has a "sweet spot" or an amount of the oil that best suits them. To determine this, we rely on the pet parents to monitor their fur babies for side effects and to know when the desired effect has been achieved. While you are increasing your dog through various levels, if you feel like she is doing better, you can cease increasing her dosage and keep her at whatever amount you feel was working the best.
