A Zyrtec for Dogs Per Pound of Weight Calculator helps pet owners determine the correct Cetirizine (Zyrtec) dosage for their dogs. Zyrtec is an antihistamine commonly used to treat allergies, itching, and skin irritations in dogs.
The typical Zyrtec dosage for dogs is 0.5 mg per pound of body weight, given once daily. Unlike some other antihistamines, Zyrtec does not cause drowsiness in most dogs, making it a preferred choice for allergy relief. However, the Zyrtec-D formula (with pseudoephedrine) is toxic to dogs, so it should be avoided.
By entering your dog’s weight, this calculator provides an estimated safe dosage to relieve allergy symptoms. While Zyrtec is generally safe, consult your veterinarian before use, especially if your dog has pre-existing conditions or is on other medications.
The Zyrtec for Dogs Calculator is a helpful guide but should never replace professional veterinary advice.
