By species: Dog (270 reports), Chicken (34 reports), Cat (34 reports). By breed: Retriever - Labrador (39), Crossbred Canine/dog (21), Chicken (unknown) (20).

Most co-reported drugs: Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (42 reports), Maropitant Citrate (34 reports), Deracoxib (22 reports), Carprofen (22 reports).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, co-reporting reflects temporal association captured in voluntary submissions, not proof that a drug caused this reaction. A widely-prescribed drug will rack up more raw co-reports at an identical true rate than a rarely-used one, so compare within similar-exposure products.
