Hello. The general rule I apply to possible Vit. D intoxication is a pet can safely handle up to 10000 IU per kg of body weight. That means your 6 pound dog is safe up to 27,000 IU ( which I do not recommend giving ). So you have nothing to worry about at this time. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
