That makes insufficiency a real possibility in animals with malabsorption, chronic intestinal disease, or restricted diets, and it is measurable with a blood test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe important thing to understand about this product is that it is dosed by test result, not by body weight. The label deliberately gives no weight chart. Vitamin D is fat soluble and accumulates, which means too much is genuinely harmful rather than simply wasted, and the manufacturer's instruction is to establish the dose from a vitamin D test and recheck in 8 to 10 weeks to confirm you have landed in the right range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 100 IU per drop, the format allows the fine adjustment that kind of titration needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eActive Ingredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), 3,000 IU per 1 mL, or 100 IU per drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther ingredients: MCT oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive the dose your veterinarian sets. The manufacturer directs establishing it from a vitamin D test rather than from body weight, then retesting in 8 to 10 weeks to confirm the level has reached sufficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCount drops rather than estimating. Each drop is 100 IU and the whole point of this format is precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the recheck. Without a follow up test there is no way to know whether the dose is right, and with a fat soluble vitamin that is not a detail worth skipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor dogs and cats. 2 fl oz (60 mL). This is a nutritional supplement, not an FDA-approved drug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 is fat soluble and stored in the body. Do not increase the dose on your own, and do not combine it with another vitamin D containing supplement without telling your veterinarian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety in pregnant or breeding animals has not been proven. Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight and keep out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTalk to your veterinarian\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one really is dosed from bloodwork. Have the level tested before starting and again at the interval your veterinarian sets, rather than picking an amount.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rx Vitamins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52998413517031,"sku":"M-126801","price":21.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7053\/6935\/files\/rd3.jpg?v=1793916289","url":"https:\/\/petrx.com\/products\/rx-d3-liquid-for-dogs-and-cats-2oz","provider":"PETRX.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
