Frequently Asked Questions: Unit Converters

Why do vets always weigh pets in kilograms?

Most medications and veterinary medical charts around the world use metric units (like milligrams per kilogram) because it makes dosing math cleaner and avoids confusion.

How do I quickly change pounds to kilograms in my head?

A handy quick rule of thumb is to cut the pounds in half, then take off roughly another 10%. For exact dosing, dividing by 2.2 gives you the true kilogram weight.
