Frequently asked questions
- What does mg/kg mean?
- mg/kg is the milligrams of medication per kilogram of body weight. Multiplying the dose rate by the dog's weight gives the total mg for that administration.
- Can I use human medications for my dog?
- Many human medications — including ibuprofen, paracetamol, and xylitol — are highly toxic to dogs. Always use veterinary-prescribed medications only.
