Within those species, Pit Bull (2), Chihuahua (1), Maltese (1) 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.
