MissMolly Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I brought capstar today and realise it is for med to large dogs and I have cavaliers that weight between 6 to 9 kilos.. Can I use half a tablet? is it safe for them to have them as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dju Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Of course, there's no difference in ingredients, only a difference in size of the tablets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 You only need to give 1/4 of the tablet - the large dog tablets are 4 times the strength of the small dog/cat ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grace Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Thanks Stormie I have often wondered if you could cut the bigger ones up. It will save a lot of money. Edited December 10, 2010 by grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staranais Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Stormie is dead right, you can divide the tab by 4 to get approximately the same dose as is in the small dog tablet. I'm glad you didn't follow the first suggestion. I'd be very cautious about taking drug advice from people you don't know over the internet. Capstar (Nitenpyram) has a high margin of safety, but even so it's just not a smart plan to give it at twice the recommended dosage (as you would have done if you'd given half a tablet).
