Medical Disclaimer
Medical disclaimer.
Please read this carefully. It explains what PetDosageChart is, what it is not, and how to use it safely.
Educational information only
All content on PetDosageChart, including calculators, dosage charts, articles, and guides, is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not veterinary advice and must not be treated as a substitute for a consultation with a licensed veterinarian.
Not a diagnosis or treatment
This site does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. It cannot examine your pet, account for its full medical history, or replace the professional judgment of your veterinarian. Calculator results are general estimates for a healthy adult animal at a known weight and may not be appropriate for your individual pet.
Always consult your veterinarian
Never give your pet any medication, change a dose, or stop a prescribed medication based solely on information from this site. Always confirm with your veterinarian first. Your veterinarian can account for your pet's weight, age, breed, other medications, and health conditions in ways a website cannot.
Emergencies require immediate care
Do not use this site to manage an emergency. If your pet has swallowed medication, may have overdosed, ate something toxic, or is showing worrying symptoms, contact a professional immediately:
- Your veterinarian or the nearest emergency animal hospital.
- ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center: (888) 426-4435
- Pet Poison Helpline: (855) 764-7661
Calculators may not apply to every pet
Dosage calculators on this site are educational estimates based on published reference ranges. They do not apply to every situation. They should not be used for pregnant or nursing pets, very young or very old animals, pets with liver or kidney disease or other chronic illness, pets taking multiple medications, or any emergency. When in doubt, ask your veterinarian.
No veterinarian-client relationship
Using PetDosageChart does not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. We are an independent reference site, not a veterinary practice.
Accuracy and sources
We draw dosage information from established veterinary references and aim to keep it accurate and current, but we make no warranty that all content is complete, error-free, or applicable to your pet. You can read how we source and review content on our methodology page, and report a possible error through our contact page.
