IMPORTANT—READ FIRST: This calculator does NOT replace a veterinarian. It's a reference tool to verify the dosage your vet already prescribed—useful if you're unsure about the ml or mg amount, your pet's weight has changed, or you need a refresher on administration instructions. Enter your pet's weight (kg), the prescribed dose (mg/kg) from the prescription or product insert, the drug concentration (mg/ml) shown on the label, and doses per day. It calculates total daily dose in mg, total daily volume in ml, and amount per dose in ml. Never give human medications to your dog or cat without explicit veterinary approval—common drugs like acetaminophen and ibuprofen are lethal to pets. If you don't have a prescription, don't use this calculator to guess—call your veterinarian or visit an emergency vet clinic.

When to use this calculator

  • Your vet prescribed an antibiotic and you want to double-check the exact ml amount before giving it.
  • Your pet's weight has changed and you need to adjust a chronic medication dose.
  • You have the product insert with mg/kg and the bottle concentration, but aren't sure how many ml to use.
  • You're giving meloxicam or carprofen (NSAIDs) and want to verify the dosage one more time.
  • Your pet's weight is atypical (e.g., a 2 kg kitten, a 60 kg giant breed dog) and the label doesn't cover it.

How it works
