Not Veterinary or Medical Advice
The calculators and content on PetDock are provided for general informational and reference purposes only. All results are estimates based on widely used formulas and population-level data. They are not a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Never disregard or delay seeking professional veterinary advice because of something you read or calculated on this site. If you have concerns about your pet's health, weight, diet, or medication, consult a licensed veterinarian.
Medication Dose Converter
The Dose Unit Converter on PetDock converts units (mg, mg/mL, mL) for a dose that a veterinarian has already prescribed. It does not calculate, recommend, or validate any medication dose. Always follow your veterinarian's instructions exactly. If you are unsure about a prescribed dose, contact your vet or a veterinary pharmacist before administering any medication.
Formula Accuracy and Limitations
Calculators on PetDock use published, peer-reviewed formulas where available (e.g., the veterinary RER formula for food portions, epigenetic clock research for age conversion). However:
- Individual animals vary significantly from population averages
- Breed weight ranges reflect typical populations, not every individual
- Activity and climate adjustments are approximations
- Age conversion formulas are based on limited research populations
- Results may not be appropriate for animals with medical conditions, atypical sizes, or special dietary needs
Use these tools as a starting point for a conversation with your vet — not as a final answer.
"As Is" Provision
To the maximum extent permitted by law, PetDock is provided "As Is" and "As Available." We make no warranties that results will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular pet or situation. We are not liable for any decisions made based on calculator outputs.
