Method

How we build our calculators

Each tool starts from a published veterinary source, not from a rule of thumb copied between websites. Where sources disagree we show a range. Where no accepted method exists, for example human-year equivalents for hamsters, we say so and label our estimate as an estimate. The formulas are written out on every page so you can check them.

Examples: calories use the AAHA 2021 energy requirement table; chocolate toxicity uses the Merck Veterinary Manual thresholds of 20, 40 to 50 and 60 mg/kg; due dates use the Merck gestation ranges; the symptom checker follows VCA emergency and urgent-care criteria.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are these tools free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no payment.
Where do the numbers come from?
Every calculator names its sources on its page: AAHA guidelines for calories and life stages, the Merck Veterinary Manual for chocolate toxicity and gestation, VCA Animal Hospitals for emergency criteria, and published studies where they exist.
Can the tools replace a vet?
No. They give general information and estimates. Call your vet or an emergency clinic when your pet is unwell.
Is my data stored?
The weight tracker and name generator save to your own browser only. We do not receive it.
