💊 Pet Medication “Dosage Calculator” (Safety Guide)

Learn why exact drug doses for dogs and cats must be prescribed by a veterinarian, and get a checklist of questions to ask instead of guessing.

This tool does not calculate or display specific medication doses

Species: Pet weight (kg): Medication name (planned or prescribed):

For example: anti‑flea tablet, pain medication, antibiotic. Do not give human meds unless explicitly told by a vet.

Talk With Your Vet Before Dosing

Why we don’t compute pet drug doses here

Medication dosing in animals depends on far more than weight: species differences (some human drugs are deadly to pets), organ function, other medications, specific product concentration, and the condition being treated. Mis‑dosing can cause internal bleeding, organ failure, or death.

Because of this, providing “automatic” dosage numbers online can be dangerous. This tool is intentionally designed to avoid showing any mg/kg or tablet counts and instead help you have a safer, clearer conversation with your veterinarian.

Never Guess Pet Medication Dosages

Shortcuts like “just a children’s dose” or “one tablet for every 10 kg” can be extremely dangerous in pets. Cats in particular process many drugs differently from humans and dogs. Even over‑the‑counter pain relievers and cold medicines can be toxic at small amounts.
