❓ FAQ

How many calories does a dog need per day?

The average adult dog needs about 70 Γ— weight(kg)^0.75 kcal as their RER, multiplied by 1.2-3.0 based on activity level. A moderately active 10kg dog typically needs 400-500 kcal/day.

Do puppies need more calories?

Yes. Growing puppies need 2-3x the calories of adult dogs. Puppies under 4 months may need RERΓ—3, while 4-12 month puppies need about RERΓ—2.

How do I know if my dog is overweight?

You should be able to feel your dog's ribs easily but not see them. If you can't feel ribs at all, your dog may be overweight. Overweight dogs should reduce calorie intake by 20-30%.
