Within those species, Retriever - Labrador (3), Domestic Shorthair (3), Domestic Longhair (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.
