Do weight and size of the pet determine the BIPS dose amount?
No. The dose is the same in all pets, large and small. To do an effective study it is recommended that each pet receive a dose containing 10 large (5mm) and 30 small (1.5mm) spheres. This total amount is inserted in a single gelatin capsule measuring 1″ long by 3/8″ in diameter. The large dose is the preferred option if a pet is capable of swallowing a capsule this size. If the pet is not capable of swallowing the larger capsule, the same number of spheres (10 large – 30mm) is included in four smaller gelatin capsules with the recommended small dose option being all four capsules.
