Medical Disclaimer & Verification
This chart was generated on DosageCalculator.com based on user-input values of mg/kg and a concentration of . The weight values assume accurate animal weight. Always round liquid doses to the nearest 0.1mL and tablet doses to the nearest quarter-tablet as advised by your vet.

Understanding Your Pet's Dosage
Why mg/kg matters more than age
In veterinary medicine, metabolism is almost entirely weight-dependent. Unlike human medication where "one pill" often fits all adults, a 10lb Pomeranian and a 100lb Great Dane require vastly different concentrations of the same active ingredient. Our chart generator uses the standard weight-basis formula utilized in clinical compounding.
Rounding Rules
- Liquids: Round to the nearest 0.1mL for oral syringes.
- Tablets: Only split tablets if they are scored (marked with a line).
- Margins: A 5% variance is common in clinical settings, but always aim for precision.
Safety Checklist
- "Is the animal on an empty stomach?"
- "Are there other medications interacting?"
- "Has the weight changed in the last 6 months?"
Consult your DVM for specific guidance.
