Because the right dose differs completely by drug, species and condition, this tool only converts a dose you have already been prescribed into mL or a tablet count. It does not find a dose for you and holds no drug names and no per-drug default values at all. Enter only the number written on your prescription and the concentration printed on the product.
In the per-weight modes the tool multiplies body weight by the prescribed mg/kg or mg/lb, whichever the label uses, to get the total per dose. Pick the unit carefully: a mg/lb figure entered as mg/kg comes out about 2.2 times too low. In the total mode it uses the mg you entered as it stands. A liquid is divided by its concentration to give mL, and a tablet is divided by the strength of one tablet, then shown again rounded down to a piece you can actually split. This conversion is unit arithmetic rather than a guideline figure, so there is no organisation standard behind it, and the basis for the dose itself is the veterinarian who prescribed it. Written as of October 2026.
The rounded-down tablet count is a reference figure, and whether to go up instead is something to check with your veterinarian. While a pet is growing or losing weight the conversion moves with the weight. This tool is for reference only and does not replace veterinary care. Contact your veterinarian right away if you notice symptoms or suspect a problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
Doses differ completely by drug, species and condition, so offering a default from a name would be dangerous. This tool converts only the number you were given.
That amount cannot be split as it is. Ask your veterinarian about a liquid form or a compounded preparation.
Measure on the mL marks of the syringe or dropper that came with the prescription. For anything finer than the marks, check with your veterinarian.
