The table is derived from the equation:
| Approximate Surface area in m2 = | 10.1 (10.0 for cats) * (weight in grams)2/3 10000 |

| Dosage Conversion Factors |
|---|
| To convert mg/lb to mg/kg: mg/kg = mg/lb * 2.2 |
| To convert mg/kg to mg/lb: mg/lb = mg/kg * 0.454 |
| 1 ppm = 1mcg/g or 1 mg/kg |
