I use 1/10 of a cc for each 10 pounds of dog, but I use the liquid......be very careful..........to much can damage kidneys.

If you are using the paste as a heartworm preventive only and are using other drugs to control intestinal worms, a speck about the size of a BB shot is all you need for any of the dogs you mentioned. If you are one of those who just has to know, the recommended dosage for this is 4.5 micrograms per Kg of bodyweight so you will be well over that with the 1.87% active paste and the excess will not harm anything.

Just put it in a ball of canned dog food and feed it to them on the 1st of every month in skeeter season.
