What this means
Total dose is the dose rate multiplied by body weight. If the vet prescribes 5 mg/kg for a 20 kg dog, the total is 100 mg. Split across the number of doses per day, that's the amount for each administration. Comparing against the tablet strength shows how much of a tablet to give — but rounding tablets is a vet's call, never guesswork.
Recommendations
- Always confirm the final dose and tablet split with your veterinarian before administering.
- Re-weight your pet before each course — dose follows weight, which changes.
- Use a proper syringe or scale for liquid and tablet splitting; eye-balled halves are unreliable.
Watch out
- This calculator performs arithmetic on the dose your vet prescribed — it does not prescribe or verify the medicine.
- Never exceed the prescribed dose rate; overdosing pets is dangerous and avoidable.
