ABOUT PAWSMETRIC

Science-Backed Pet Mathematics

PawsMetric was created to empower dog owners, breeders, and shelter professionals with peer-reviewed, free veterinary calculators.

Our Mission

Canine healthcare decisions should be powered by empirical science, not historical myths. Outdated rules—like multiplying dog age by 7 or reading generic feeding guidelines on kibble bags—fail to account for breed genetics, weight classes, and physiological metabolic rates.

Scientific Rigor

Every tool hosted on PawsMetric is developed using verified peer-reviewed research from institutions including the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA), National Research Council (NRC), and the Royal Veterinary College Companion Animal datasets.
