A (Meloxicam) metacam dosage calculator for dogs is used to compute the appropriate amount of meloxicam medication for canines.
If you have a 15 kg Labrador Retriever prescribed 0.1 mg/kg of Metacam, the meloxicam calculator would suggest a dose of 1.5 mg.

Metacam Dosage for Dogs Formula
The formula for calculating Metacam dosage is:
Dosage (mg) = Dog's weight (kg) × Prescribed dose (mg/kg)- Your dog weighs 25 kg
- The vet prescribes 0.2 mg/kg of Metacam
- Dosage calculation: 25 kg × 0.2 mg/kg = 5 mg
The correct Metacam dose for your 25 kg dog would be 5 mg.
