- **Patience is key:** Onset of any noticeable clinical improvement may require **2 to 6 weeks** of consistent daily treatment. - **Consistency matters:** Do not switch brands from the one prescribed without first contacting your veterinarian, as over-the-counter supplement quality varies drastically. - **Administration:** Tablets can be given as a treat or crumbled into food. Capsules can be opened and sprinkled onto wet or moistened dry food to ensure the pet consumes the full dose. - **Side effects:** Adverse effects are very unlikely, but mild gastrointestinal upset (soft stool, gas) has been reported. If this occurs and is troublesome, contact your veterinarian.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
