Enter your dog's details and we'll calculate the perfect daily portion for any recipe. Based on veterinary nutrition guidelines.
Input your dog's weight, age, breed (if known), and current activity level. These factors all affect caloric needs.
Using the RER (Resting Energy Requirement) formula, we determine your dog's baseline caloric needs, then apply activity multipliers.
If you select a breed, we apply known metabolic factors. Some breeds need fewer calories; others need more.
See exactly how much of each recipe to feed daily, in cups and grams. Split between 2-3 meals for best digestion.
Calculator results are estimates based on averages. Monitor your dog's weight and adjust portions up or down as needed.
The best feedback is your dog's body condition. Weigh them weekly when transitioning to homemade food and adjust accordingly.
Activity levels vary seasonally. Working dogs need more in hunting season; puppies need more during growth spurts.
