I got some of this today and reread the dosing instructions that were given. They seemed to be a little high so I did some calcs of my own.
here is the original info:
The vets sale advantage, and it is 9.1% imidacloprid....and they have us put one ml on a dog 11-20lbs....... 2.5ml on dogs 21-55 lbs, and over 55lbs....4ml.... ok, now this stuff is 1.47% imidacloprid....which rounds up to 1.5%
So, now check my math......9/1.5=6 6x1=6, 6x2.5=15.0 and 6x4= 24...........this is the amounts i put on my dogs..........>>>>>>>6ml on dogs 11-20lbs,,,,,,15.0 ml on dogs 40to 60lbs....which could be 21 to 55lbs but i cut it back to 10 ml on dogs of 25lbs...beagles and it has been working....and dogs over 70lbs i use 24ml. >>>>>>>>15ml has been working on 70 lb dogs with me. If anyone can see where i have figured this wrong please let me know....
Here are my calcs:
9% = 1ml (concentration of Advantage)
1.5% Xml (concentration of unknown amount)
9x = 1.5ml (cross multiply, % cancels out)
9x = 1.5ml (divide by 9 to get X by itself)
9........9
X = 0.1667 ml
Therefore 1.5% per 0.1667 ml. As compared to Advantage 9% per 1ml. If the percentage of product is concentrated, then you will use less of a product rather than more.
Using the dosing amounts giving for advantage, adjust as follows:
.............Advantage.........Bayer Tree & Shrub
11-20#......1ml................0.1667ml
21-55#.....2.5ml..............0.4167ml
> 55#........4ml................0.6667ml
am I way off base? Anyway, I was still nervous, so I soaked a rag and rub the bellies really well. we'll see...
