Common questions
How many calories should my dog eat per day?
Most adult neutered dogs need about 1.6 times resting energy requirement. Puppies, working dogs, and intact dogs need more.
How do I turn calories into cups?
Find kcal per cup on the bag and enter it. Divide the daily target by that number.
Is this a substitute for veterinary advice?
No. Use it as a starting point. Dogs with kidney, pancreas, or thyroid disease need a vet-set ration.
