FAQ

Is Milbemax 5-25kg 96 tablets suitable for a 40kg dog?

Yes, adding units: the manufacturer assigns 2 tablets to the range of more than 25 to 50 kg.

And what about for a 4 kg dog?

No. It is contraindicated in dogs weighing less than 5 kg.

Can it be used in players?

Yes, including pregnant and lactating dogs.

What's wrong with Collies?

Its safety margin against milbemycin oxime is lower than that of other breeds, so the dose must be strictly respected; it has not been studied in puppies of these breeds.

Are there any waiting times or known incompatibilities?

No waiting period is required and no incompatibilities are known. It is well tolerated with selamectin; caution is advised with other macrocyclic lactones.

Despite the weight-based details provided by the manufacturer, the specific guidelines for each dog should be agreed upon with your veterinarian.
