18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

Death is not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Previous applications were well tolerated. Dog was of advanced age, however it is reported that the dog ate a poisoned plant, which is likely the cause of death. Finally considering long time to onset (14 days) and reported probable cause for death, a product connection is deemed to be unlikely.
