Within those species, Retriever - Labrador (5), Shih Tzu (2), Shepherd Dog - Australian (2) appear most often — though breed popularity and ownership density shape these counts as much as any drug-specific sensitivity. This distribution matters because the same active ingredient can behave very differently across body sizes, ages, and species physiology.

The most commonly reported clinical signs associated with Canine Distemper Virus + Adenovirus + Parvovirus + Parainfluenza Virus are Lack of efficacy (endoparasite) - heartworm (10), Vomiting (6), Other abnormal test result NOS (4), Not eating (4).
