ABOUT VETPILOT
VetPilot brings everyday clinical tools together for veterinarians and veterinary technicians, on the web and on a phone.
Veterinary teams move between calculations, sample preparation, procedures, and teaching throughout the day. VetPilot was made to reduce repeated lookup and manual calculation, and to give useful clinic knowledge a place to live.
The aim is practical: help the team prepare, organize, and review their work while keeping clinical decisions with the veterinarian.
Calculate medication candidates and nutrition estimates. Check laboratory specimen instructions. Build procedures in My Clinic and keep labeled microscopy images in Cytology for learning.
Share protocols with teammates, print nutrition plans, and access synced My Clinic and Cytology collections using the same account on the website and app.
Interested in testing the app? Request access to the iOS or Android test build by email. The app is still in development.
VetPilot is a clinical support and learning tool. A calculated result is not a prescription or diagnosis. The treating veterinarian must confirm the patient, indication, species, route, formulation, concentration, and current source before use. Cytology labels describe the user’s observations.
References are credited to their authors, publishers, and organizations. Their inclusion does not imply affiliation, endorsement, or independent validation of VetPilot.

These are the core equations already used by VetPilot. The selected tool shows the applicable protocol, units, and calculation details.
| Calculation | Equation | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Medication weight conversion | kg = lb × 0.45359237 | Used for medication calculations. |
| Weight-based medication amount | Amount = selected dose per kg × weight in kg | Use the unit and dose basis of the selected protocol; fixed doses and labeled weight bands have separate rules. |
| Tablets / capsules | Quantity = calculated mg ÷ mg per unit | Rounding and permitted splitting require review. |
| Liquid / injectable volume | mL = compatible calculated amount ÷ concentration per mL | Unit conversions, infusion time, and protocol-specific concentration rules apply. |
| Resting energy requirement | RER = 70 × weight in kg^0.75 | Pet Nutrition Alliance calorie-planning reference. |
| Nutrition weight conversion | kg = lb ÷ 2.205 | Preserves the conversion used in VetPilot’s PNA-based nutrition calculator. |
| Daily food amount | Food units/day = kcal/day ÷ kcal per food unit | The daily total includes treats and other food. |
Nutrition also applies the existing body-condition, reproductive-status, intake, and calorie-floor rules. The result’s “Equation and calculation” section shows the values used. PNA calorie equations ↗
These are the recorded references for product forms, strengths, and concentrations. A product label supporting a strength does not by itself support an extra-label dose or indication.
RELGAABI product label, including the 200 mg capsule: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=4cc6615b-5447-9c0e-e063-6394a90a2883 ↗
IDEXX and Michigan State University references recorded with the laboratory tests. Each test in Labwork retains its applicable reference.
The gabapentin pain, mild-sedation, and fractious-patient options were supplied by VetPilot’s owner as instructions from their veterinarian for dogs and cats. They are clinic-supplied instructions, not independently verified published recommendations. The capsule product label above supports product strength, not those dosing instructions.
The buprenorphine 0.6 mg/mL conversion uses a user-supplied concentration note. Product identity, release type, concentration, dose, route, and schedule must be confirmed against the vial, dispensing label, and clinician’s prescription.
Custom medications and protocols use the references entered by their author. These remain with the custom entry rather than being attributed to a published source without evidence.
This directory presents the sources recorded in the current built-in data, including the individual medication and protocol citations below. Breed reminders currently have no individual source citations recorded; they should not be treated as source-verified monographs. Broad references and missing citations still require review.
Search the built-in catalog by medication, protocol, or source. Citations below are reproduced from the catalog; a broad reference or missing citation is not a verified drug monograph. Custom clinic medications retain the source entered by the clinic in Dose.
