Daily Calorie Calculator
Work out how much to feed your dog or cat each day, in calories and real food portions. Built on the same resting energy formulas your vet uses. By Dr Duncan Houston.
3. Turn calories into food portions
Tell us how many calories are in the food. Pick a food type for a typical value, or enter the exact figure from your bag for the most accurate result.
We recommend weighing food on a kitchen scale. Cups vary a lot between foods and are easy to over-pour.
Each meal
These figures are general guides based on standard resting energy and maintenance formulas. Real needs vary with breed, metabolism, health, neuter status, climate, coat and individual differences. Always feed to keep an ideal body condition score, weigh regularly, and speak to your vet before big diet changes, for weight loss plans, or if your animal is unwell, pregnant or nursing. Not a substitute for veterinary advice. By Dr Duncan Houston.
