Today's Bonus:
Be aware when purchasing this product that the weight range listed on the packaging for dosing is in kg. not lbs. Know your dog's weight and do the appropriate conversions from kg. to lbs. if necessary to make sure your dog's weight falls within the appropriate lower and upper weight limit range using the same weight units (i.e. kg. or lbs.) for both the dog's weight and the weight range listed on the product package prior to ordering to avoid dosage calculation mistakes.
Note that in AU, the Sentinel package lists the dog's weight in kg., not in English lbs. Since the correct dosage for Rx heartworm medication in the US is based on the dog's weight in lbs., unless you have a reliable kg. scale to weigh the dog, to obtain the correct dosage in kg.,
1) weigh your dog in lbs.
2) the lower and upper weight range limits in kg. listed on the package MUST be converted to the corresponding weight range in lbs.
2) the dog's weight in lbs. should fall within the lower and upper weight range limits listed on the Sentinel Rx package after the dog's weight is converted from kg. to lbs. to insure an adequate dosage strength.
Miscalculation and/or the owner failing to notice that the weight range for the dog listed on Sentinel packages from other countries is listed in kg has been known to have resulted in the death of dogs as result of being underdosed and contracting heartworm.
If the dosage is miscalculated and underestimated, the dosage may not be adequate to prevent heartworm infection since for effective protection against heartworm, it is critical that the dog is maintained on an adequate recommended dosage at the prescribed dosage intervals based on the dog's body weight.

Example 1: Check to see if the dosage for Medium dogs is the correct dosage for your dog
http://www.amazon.com/SENTINEL-SPECTRUM-Tasty-medium-11-22kg/dp/B007PM4HZA/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1378829678&sr=8-13&keywords=sentinel+australia
Using this online Metric Conversion Calculator to convert the lower limit of dosage based weight for Sentinel for Medium dogs from kg. to lbs.:
Since the Sentinel package for Medium dogs lists a lower weight range of 11 kg., this is equivalent to a lower weight limit range of 24.25 lbs. so for example if your dog weighs 13.9 lbs., this dosage is too high. Check the dosage for small dogs.
Example 2:
http://www.amazon.com/SENTINEL-SPECTRUM-Tasty-Chews-4-11kg/dp/B007PM4HVY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378833589&sr=8-1&keywords=SENTINEL+SPECTRUM+For+small+Dogs
Using this online Metric Conversion Calculator to convert the lower limit of dosage based weight for Sentinel for Small dogs from kg. to lbs.
Since the Sentinel package lists a lower weight range limit of 4 kg., using the metric conversion calculator, this is equivalent to a lower weight range limit of 8.8 lbs. so if, for example, your dog weighs 13.9 lbs., your dog's weight in lbs. falls above this lower limit weight range for Small dogs.
The next step is to convert the upper limit weight range listed on the same Sentinel for Small dogs package, 11 kg., to lbs. to see if your dog's weight falls below the Sentinel upper weight limit range for Small dogs. Since the Sentinel package lists an upper weight limit of 11 kg., using the online Metric Conversion Calculator to convert the upper weight limit of dosage for Sentinel for Small dogs from 11 kg. to lbs. results in an upper weight limit of 24.25 lbs. So if for example your dog weighs 13.9 lbs., your dog's weight in lbs. falls below the upper limit weight range of 24.25 lbs. for Small dogs and this would be the correct dosage.
