Dog Food Calculator

Introducing Our Free Dog Food Calculator: Feed Your Dog Right!

🐢 Dog Food Calculator – Free Online Feeding Guide for Puppies and Adult Dogs

Every dog is unique, but knowing how much to feed your dog doesn’t have to be complicated.
Our free Dog Food Calculator is designed to help pet parents, breeders, and dog lovers determine the right amount of food their dog needs each day based on weight, activity level, age, and nutritional requirements.

This modern calculator uses veterinary-approved formulas (Resting Energy Requirement and Maintenance Energy Requirement) to estimate your dog’s daily calorie needs. It then converts those calories into grams and cups of dog food per day using your food’s calorie content (kcal per cup or kcal per kilogram).
