Thanks! I'm just trying to make his life a little better. Sometimes he gets nervous in new places cause he thinks hes going to a new home - we were his 5th home at only 6 months old.

To figure out your dogs body weight you have to convert ounces to pounds...
EX: a dog that weighs 4 pounds 10 ounces would weigh 4.625 pounds
you must take the 10 ounces and divide by 16 then add the 4 pounds...
10 divided by 16 = .625 + 4 =4.625
4.625 X 5 divided by 12.5 =1.85 cc/ml
Agree with Ellie May...it doesn't necessarily make them sleepy though...sometimes it's the opposite. |
Thank you!
So Chip is 7 lbs x 5 is 35 / 12.5 which equals 2.8 cc?
And Smokey is 13 lbs x 5 is 65 / 12.5 which equals 5.2 cc?
I know it's not guaranteed to make him sleepy but I just want to try to make it easier on him... I might go out to the pet store and get some calming stuff - I have some time.
