Within those species, Crossbred Canine/dog (29), Mixed (Dog) (16), Unknown (13) 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.
