Pet Calculus

Pet math, done properly.

Quick calculators for the questions dog and cat owners actually ask, from how much to feed each day to whether that missing chocolate bar needs a trip to the vet. Every tool shows how it works and where the numbers come from.

The calculators

Sources you can check

Each calculator uses published veterinary references, such as the Merck Veterinary Manual and AAHA guidelines, and links to them at the bottom of the page.

The working, shown

You’ll see the formula or chart behind every result, plus a worked example, so you can sanity-check the number before you rely on it.

Honest about limits

These are estimates. When a result could mean your pet needs care, we say so plainly and tell you who to call.
