Check your dog food package (usually 300-400)

How This Works

This calculator uses the Resting Energy Requirement (RER) formula combined with activity factors to determine your dog's daily calorie needs, then converts that to cups based on your food's calorie density.

  • RER = 70 × (weight in kg)^0.75
  • Daily calories = RER × activity factor × body condition factor
  • Cups per day = Daily calories ÷ Calories per cup
  • Adjustments for puppies, seniors, and body condition

Sync your household menu planning with PrepSmart so your dog's feeding plan aligns with the family's meal prep.
