Dog Calorie Calculator

Find out exactly how many calories your dog needs each day.

How This Works

We use the Resting Energy Requirement formula: RER = 70 × (weight in kg)^0.75 — the same method veterinary nutritionists use. Then multiply by activity level for Daily Energy Requirement. For weight loss, we use 80% of maintenance calories — the safe deficit recommended by APOP.

Based on guidelines from AAHA and APOP. This is informational, not veterinary advice.
