Veterinary drug dosing,
delivered as an API.
VetDrugs PMI API gives practice management software, clinical platforms, and veterinary integrations a production-ready calculation engine — drug dosing, CRIs, fluids, drug search, and FDA labels, all from one licensable endpoint.

Built for veterinary software that needs a clinical calculation layer
The API handles the dosing math, drug data, and regulatory references — so your team doesn't have to build and maintain that from scratch.
Practice Management Software
Embed weight-based dosing, drug information, and CRI calculations directly inside your PMI's treatment or SOAP workflow — without building a drug database.
Clinical Platforms & Telehealth
Add validated drug dosing to remote consult, triage, or anesthesia planning tools. CRI, fluid, and standard dose calculations in a single API call.
Drug Information & Label Search
Power drug search pickers, autocomplete, and FDA label links in client-facing or clinical UIs — backed by the same dataset used in VetDrugs.
Focused endpoints for the workflows partners need most
Core calculation endpoint. Accepts drug name, species, weight, route, and calculation type. Returns dose range, calculated mg, and clinical notes. Supports standard, BSA, CRI, and fluid types.
Search and browse the canine/feline drug dataset by name or category. Returns matching drugs with key metadata for populating pickers and search UIs.
Retrieve full drug records including dosing tables, species-specific data, warnings, and workflow metadata for richer clinical interfaces.
Search FDA DailyMed labels and correlate results with the VetDrugs dataset. Useful for surfacing official prescribing information alongside calculated doses.
CRI-specific calculations. Submit patient weight, target dose rate, and drug concentration — receive pump rate in mL/hr, total drug per hour, and infusion notes.
Service availability and readiness check. Returns API status, dataset availability, and current commercial scope. Use before deeper integration testing.
From trial key to production in four steps
Trial access gives you the full API surface. When the integration is ready, upgrading to commercial access keeps the same key and endpoint.
Register for trial
Create a trial account and receive your API key immediately. No credit card needed to start.
Explore with the demo
Run live calculations in the browser-based demo. Confirm the endpoints match your workflow before writing a line of code.
Integrate & test
Connect the API to your product using the documented endpoints. Full reference and error codes available in the docs portal.
License commercially
Upgrade to a commercial subscription for production use. Monthly, annual, and enterprise options available.
