How long will my pet need to take this?
It is typically a long-term, daily maintenance medication for chronic conditions. Do not stop without veterinary guidance.
Can I give this to my other pets?

Troubleshooting
Pet refuses to eat the flavored tablet
Try concealing the tablet inside a small piece of pill pocket, cheese, or wet food. Consult your vet if the pet continues to reject it.
Pet shows signs of weakness or dizziness
This may indicate low blood pressure. Stop the medication and contact your veterinarian immediately for a dosage review.
