The initial recommended dose of levothyroxine is 0.1 mg/10lb (4.5 kg) body weight twice daily. Dosage is then adjusted by monitoring the post-pill blood level of thyroid hormone in the dog every four weeks until an adequate maintenance dose is established.
Each tablet, Pala-Tech Canine Thyroid Chewable Tablets, may be given orally to dogs as a treat, or crumbled over their food at the veterinarian-prescribed dose. If crumbled over food, consumption should be monitored.
