The dosage should be individualized, depending upon the degree of tranquilization required. As a general rule, the dosage requirement in mg/lb of body weight decreases as the weight of the animal increases.

Dogs: 0.25–0.5 mg/lb of body weight
Cats: 0.5–1 mg/lb of body weight
Horses: 2–4 mg/100 lb of body weight
IV doses should be administered slowly, and a period of at least 15 minutes should be allowed for the drug to take full effect.
