Frequently Asked Questions
How does this dosage calculator work?
It multiplies your pet's weight by the prescribed dose in mg per kg to get mg per dose, then divides by the product concentration (mg per mL or per tablet) to get a volume or tablet count. It is a unit-conversion aid only. This is general guidance, not veterinary advice - consult your veterinarian for personalized recommendations for your pet.
Is it safe to dose my pet from an online calculator?
No. Never medicate a pet without a veterinarian's specific instruction. Many human and even some pet drugs are toxic at the wrong dose or for the wrong species, and dosing varies by condition, age, and organ function. This is general guidance, not veterinary advice - consult your veterinarian for personalized recommendations for your pet.
Why does it not include specific drug presets?
Drug-specific dosing requires veterinary judgment and a current prescription. The tool deliberately stays generic to avoid being mistaken for medical advice. This is general guidance, not veterinary advice - consult your veterinarian for personalized recommendations for your pet.
What is mg/kg?
Milligrams of drug per kilogram of body weight - the standard way doses scale to size. A 10 kg dog at 5 mg/kg needs 50 mg per dose. Always confirm the figure with your vet. This is general guidance, not veterinary advice - consult your veterinarian for personalized recommendations for your pet.
