How the Calculator Works
This calculator uses your dog's weight and the prescribed dose per kilogram to calculate the total amount of medicine needed. It then multiplies this by the number of doses you need each day to give you a clear dosage guideline.
Input your dog's weight, the dose in mg per kg, and how many times a day you need to give the medicine. The calculator does the rest!
Example Calculation
Let's say you have a dog that weighs 10 kg, with a dose of 4 mg/kg and 3 doses per day. The total daily dose would be 120 mg, meaning each dose is 40 mg.
