We had Doogan on Atopica for a few months but had a difficult time trying to get proper dosage for him. It is only (or was, it might have changed) available in 10 or 25 mg dosages and is based on the weight of the dog. His weight at the time was 6.5 lbs so the dosage he needed was 18 mg. The 10 mg gave little to no results and the 25 gave him weird reactions because it was over medicating him. The cost in Canada for the 10 mg was $4.80 per pill without insurance (we have insurance) so it is quite costly here.
We made the decision to take him off of Atopica because of the dosing issues and are now waiting to see a Dermatologist in October
