Dosing Cats

• Cats can tolerate more than a dog and we use the formula of  0.2mg per of weight to start

• If you only know the pound weight - divide that weight by 2.2 and you will get the kg weight

• Start with the closest level for your cats' kg weight.  It's okay to be a bit above or below. IE your cat weighs 8lbs/3.64kg = .73mg to start.  You can start with .25mL (1/4 of the dropper) = .83mg

• For lighter weight cats you can start with 1/8 of the dropper = .42mg

• Give twice a day, with or without food, for 3 full days

• Monitor for signs of improvement and side effects

• No Improvement: Raise the level by 1/4 (or 1/8 dropper) and give for another 3 days.  If still no change, increase by another 1/4 (or 1/8 dropper) after 3 days, and again monitor. Continue slowly raising until the desired results are present and STOP at this level.  While raising the level, do not exceed the level of 2mg/kg daily 

• Improvement: Once the desired relief is seen, you have found their "sweet spot". Leave your cat at this level for 3 weeks - 1 month, then slowly start to lower the daily dosage. 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.   

• 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

• Keep an eye on your cat to make sure they are tolerating it well. Occasionally cats will get diarrhea due to the MCT coconut oil as it may be too rich for them. Stop administering until the stool returns to normal and then resume, in 1 or 2 days.

• PLEASE NOTE: if your cat has any serious medical conditions, ie. cancer or serious chronic pain, please refer to the appropriate heading in the menu bar, above.  You can also find our contact details here.

Dosing Toy Breeds

• We recommend dogs start with the formula of 0.1mg  per kg of weight to start

• If you only know the pound weight - divide that weight by 2.2 and you will get the kg weight

• Start with the closest level for your dogs kg weight.  It's okay to be a bit above or below. IE your dog weighs 5lbs/2.7kg = .27mg to start. 1 drop = .08mg.  Start with 3 drops = .24mg

• Give twice a day, with or without food, for 3 full days

• Monitor for signs of improvement and side effects

• No Improvement: Raise the level by the amount of the dropper you started with (double the dosage) and give for another 3 days.  If still no change, increase by adding the starting amount to the dropper and give for another 3 days, and again monitor.  Continue slowly raising until the desired results are present and STOP at this level.  While raising the level, do not exceed the level of 1mg/kg daily 

• Improvement: Once the desired relief is seen, you have found their "sweet spot". Leave your dog at this level for 3 weeks - 1 month, then slowly start to lower the daily dosage. Decrease by removing the same amount you raised it by (ie: 3 drops or 1/8 of the dropper) and watch for the return of the original issue.  If all is good, decrease by the same amount again and watch for 3 days.  Continue to slowly decrease until you feel it's a good level for your pet - no discomfort.  If you remove too much, simply raise the level to the last spot they were doing good at, and stay there. No one knows your pet as you do, and you'll figure out what a good level is for them. 

• PLEASE NOTE: If your dog has any serious medical conditions ie. cancer or serious chronic pain, please refer to the appropriate heading in the menu bar, above.  You can also find our contact details here.

Dosing Small Animals​

• Science hasn't caught up with research for small animals but we do know any animal with a spinal column can benefit from our drops

• ALWAYS start low and go slow and watch closely for reactions

• Start with 1 drop/.08mg, once a day, and watch for improvement.  

• If more is needed, add a second daily drop, spread 12 hrs apart

• Monitor for 3 days and if more is needed, add another drop to each dose

• Slowly increase the dose by adding a drop after 3 days, if more relief is needed

• Once the issue seems helped, you have found their "sweet spot" and you can stay at this level for 3 weeks to a month, then start to slowly lower the daily dosage. Decrease by removing the same amount you raised it by (ie: 3 drops or 1/8 of the dropper) and watch for the return of the original issue.  If all is good, decrease by the same amount again and watch for 3 days.  Continue to slowly decrease until you feel it's a good level for your pet - no discomfort.  If you remove too much, simply raise the level to the last spot they were doing good at, and stay there. Know one knows your pet as you do, and you'll figure out what a good level is for them.
