How It Works

Dog medication dosing is weight-based — expressed as mg per kg of bodyweight. This calculator multiplies your dog's weight by the established therapeutic dose range to give the actual mg to administer. Always start at the lower end and adjust under veterinary supervision. Prescription medications require a valid veterinary prescription in all jurisdictions.

Veterinary Research

Every formula is derived from peer-reviewed veterinary studies and clinical guidelines, not guesswork or generic rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is atenolol used for in dogs?+
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), atrial fibrillation rate control, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (rare in dogs), and hypertension.
Can atenolol be stopped suddenly?+
No — abrupt discontinuation can cause rebound tachycardia and hypertension. Always taper over 1-2 weeks under vet supervision.
What are the side effects?+
Bradycardia, hypotension, exercise intolerance, cold extremities, and bronchoconstriction (avoid in dogs with respiratory disease).
How do I know the dose is right?+
Resting heart rate should reduce to target (usually 60-90 bpm for dogs). An ECG confirms arrhythmia control.
Can atenolol be given with digoxin?+
Yes — combination is sometimes used for atrial fibrillation rate control. Monitor closely as both drugs slow heart rate.
