Estimate how many calories your dog needs each day using the same resting energy and maintenance energy method that veterinary nutritionists use. The tool first computes resting energy requirement as seventy times body weight in kilograms raised to the power of 0.75, which reflects how energy needs scale with size rather than linearly. It then multiplies that resting figure by a maintenance factor chosen for your dog situation, such as neutered adult, intact adult, weight loss, or active working dog, to give a daily maintenance energy requirement in calories. Enter weight in kilograms or pounds and pick the factor that best matches your dog. The result is a starting point for portioning food, not a prescription. Everything runs locally in your browser, and this is general information, not veterinary advice, so confirm with your vet for medical needs.
