Be sure to speak with your veterinarian about all parts of your dog’s treatment plan. Information on this website is provided only as a summary and does not take the place of instructions from your veterinarian.

You should keep Kinavet-CA1® in a secure storage area out of the reach of children. Children should not come into contact with Kinavet-CA1® or have close contact to treated dogs, treated dog feces or vomit. Pregnant women, women who may become pregnant, or nursing mothers should pay special attention to these handling precautions. Kinavet-CA1® may harm an unborn baby (cause birth defects).
What if Kinavet-CA1® is accidentally ingested?
Kinavet-CA1® is not for use in humans. If Kinavet-CA1® is ingested by you or members of your household seek medical advice immediately. It is important to show the treating physician a copy of the package insert or label. In cases of accidental human ingestion of Kinavet-CA1®, you may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, including vomiting or diarrhea. To avoid exposure to drug, wash hands with soap and water after administering.
How do I give Kinavet-CA1® to my dog?
Kinavet-CA1® should be given to your dog by mouth (orally). The whole daily dose should be given at the same time of the day.

Kinavet-CA1® tablets should always be administered with food.
What should I do if the tablet is rejected by the dog?
If a broken tablet is rejected by the dog after chewing, it should be disposed of. If the tablet is regurgitated or vomited within 10 minutes following administration, treatment should be repeated. If the tablet is regurgitated or vomited later than 10 minutes, treatment should not be repeated.
What if my dog misses a treatment dose?
If a dose is missed, the next dose should be given as scheduled. Do not increase or double the dose. If more than the prescribed amount of tablets were given, contact your veterinarian.
