Instructions

It is important to follow your Veterinarian's prescription instructions for your pet.  Never give this medication to your pet without first consulting your veterinarian and with a proper prescription for your pet.

The typical dose of Metoprolol administered to dogs is 6.25 mg to 25 mg per dog two to three times daily. A low dose is generally started and gradually increased every 2 weeks. 

The typical dose of Metoprolol administered to cats is 1 mg per pound (2 mg/kg) once daily. The total daily dose in cats is often 2 to 15 mg per cat three times daily. It is very difficult to accurately dose cats therefore Metoprolol may need to be compounded. 

Metoprolol can be given with food or without. 

If Metoprolol is discontinued for any reason, it should be done so gradually.
