Everything you need to know about our dog calorie calculator

Our calculator uses the scientifically proven RER formula (70 × BW^0.75) recognized by AAFCO, NRC, and veterinary nutritionists worldwide. It accounts for weight, age, activity level, body condition, and neuter status. While highly accurate for most dogs, individual needs may vary by ±10-20% based on breed, metabolism, and health conditions.
Absolutely! Our calculator is specifically designed to handle all life stages. Puppies get higher calorie and calcium requirements for growth, while senior dogs get adjusted recommendations for their reduced activity levels. The life stage multipliers are based on AAFCO and NRC guidelines for each age group.
Yes! While our calculator provides science-based recommendations, it's always best to consult with your veterinarian, especially if your dog has health conditions (kidney disease, diabetes, allergies, etc.), is pregnant/lactating, or has extreme weight issues. Think of this tool as a helpful starting point for discussions with your vet.
The premium AI-powered report ($9.99) includes: detailed feeding schedules with portion sizes, specific food brand recommendations, supplement suggestions, treat allowances, weight management strategies, health tips, and a downloadable PDF you can share with your vet. It's like having a personalized nutrition consultation for your dog.
Check your dog food packaging for the calorie content (usually listed as kcal/cup or kcal/100g). Divide the daily calorie requirement by the food's calorie density to get the amount needed. For example: if your dog needs 800 kcal/day and your food has 400 kcal/cup, feed 2 cups per day. Our premium report does this calculation for you with specific brand recommendations.
