Animal Information
*Food quantities may vary with age, breed, and activity level. Please use the feeding guideline as an initial recommendation and adjust as needed to maintain an optimal weight.
How the calculation works
The calculator multiplies your pet’s weight by a percentage based on its life stage:
- an adult dog or cat eats 2 to 3% of its body weight per day;
- a puppy or a kitten eats 4 to 6% of its body weight per day.
The result is the total amount to feed over the day.
Adjusting the amount
These amounts are a starting point. Adjust them to your pet’s age, breed and activity level so it keeps a healthy weight: if it gains weight, feed a little less; if it loses weight, a little more.
- Pregnant or nursing female: her needs are higher. You can feed her as much as she wants, or give her 4 to 6% of her body weight per day.
- Eating less than expected? The amount is often too high for its needs, or it gets too many treats between meals.
Remember
- Cats, puppies and kittens: always thawed meals, never frozen or semi-frozen. Puppies and kittens never fast.
