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 per dose. Always start at the lower end and adjust under veterinary supervision.
Veterinary Research
Every formula is derived from peer-reviewed veterinary studies and clinical guidelines, not guesswork or generic rules.
