The large breed dose is good for 51-100# dogs which makes me believe they don't get the full dosage past the half way point. 1/10 cc per 10# of body weight is the standard dosage I use and some use that twice a month but I believe it to be overkill. I have two on ProHeart and Ivermect each month since they are different drugs and vet said it would not hurt. So far, in the 15 years I have been at this ivermect has been all I have used and it has done well for me.
I'm sure when this is all said and done I will me be double dipping him also
