Do you stop after 14 days and not give anymore? Do they still have pill form or just chewables My 30 lb. dog Yoda needs to be on a monthly plan for the rest of his life. I'm a very low income disabled senior. Are there discounts and if not, what is the cost for monthly refills? How much would you give a 9lb 10 year old pom mix? How do I figure out how much to give my 30 lb dog?
