Dosages for Household Meds

[linm]

I have been building myself a Dog First Aid kit to take with us on holiday. I collected a Dosage List for Dogs of common Household Medications and built it into a wallet sized file. (Print the file and fold in half). I have also included the formula for calculating dosages from mgs to mls. I thought this might prove useful for others,too.

I then packaged up the meds in appropriate sizes (i.e. pre-cut the pills) and labeled the packages with the appropriate dosage that each of my 2 dogs should take.

Of course, no substitute for seeing a Vet! Hope this helps someone,

Hi;

The dosages I put on my card are just for Dogs! I found that the dosages were different for cats and in some cases, things that you could give to dogs were really harmful to cats.
