Dosing for rabbits, simply by weight.
Hopdose is an oral dosing syringe with a scale in kilograms of body weight, made especially for rabbits. The scale is matched to one product: the 1.5 mg/ml oral suspension that vets often use for pain. Your vet will tell you whether it is the right one for your rabbit.
Syringes for dogs and cats were not made for rabbits
Too coarse for small animals
On a dog syringe, a rabbit of one and a half kilos sits right at the start of the scale, within a few millimetres. A small reading error quickly adds up.
Converting at the counter
Vets convert the dose to millilitres and explain it to the owner. At home, that explanation is often forgotten.
Doubt at home
Owners are unsure which mark to use. With a scale in kilograms, you see it straight away.
How Hopdose works
Three steps, no maths.
- 1
Your vet decides
Your vet decides whether your rabbit needs the suspension and gives you the Hopdose syringe.
- 2
Draw up to the weight
Pull the plunger to the mark with your rabbit's weight, as your vet told you.
- 3
Give it calmly
Give it slowly into the side of the mouth. Take your time so your rabbit can swallow calmly.
For vets
Less explaining at the counter and less doubt for owners at home. The kilogram scale matches how you already think: the weight of the animal.
- Scale from 0.25 to 5 kg, marks every quarter kilo
- Matched to the 1.5 mg/ml oral suspension you prescribe for pain
- Individually packed, easy to hand out
- Sample pack for your practice on request
For owners
Caring for your rabbit is stressful enough when it is unwell. With Hopdose you do not have to calculate or guess which mark is right.
- Always follow your vet's instructions
- Weigh your rabbit if you are unsure of its weight
- Rinse the syringe with lukewarm water after use and let it dry
- Use the syringe for one animal only

Is Hopdose a medicine?
No. Hopdose is a measuring aid: a dosing syringe with a different scale. It contains no medicine and we do not give medical advice.
What dose should my rabbit get?
That is always up to your vet. Hopdose only helps you measure what your vet has prescribed.
Does Hopdose work with any medicine?
No. The scale is matched only to the 1.5 mg/ml oral suspension that vets often use for pain. For other products or another strength the scale is wrong. If you are unsure, ask your vet.
My rabbit weighs more than 5 kg. What now?
Ask your vet how to split the amount. They can tell you how often to fill the syringe.
Where can I buy Hopdose?
Hopdose will soon be available through vets and through this site. Email info@hopdose.nl and we will let you know.
Hopdose is a measuring aid, not a medicine. For animal use only. Always follow your vet's advice on product, dose and length of treatment. Hopdose does not give medical advice.
