\n The recommended dose of Atopica for an 8 lb dog is two 10 mg capsules orally as a single dose once a day for 30 days to start. Following this initial daily treatment period, your veterinarian may recommend that the dose be tapered by decreasing the frequency of dosing to every other day or two times a week, until a minimum frequency is reached which will maintain the desired therapeutic effect. Doses may vary, however, depending on many factors. Consult your veterinarian regarding your concern or consider obtaining a second opinion from another doctor.\n
