How it works

Estimate daily dry food portion in grams based on body weight and food calorie density.

Who it's for: Pet owners portioning kibble from label calorie information.

Formula: daily grams = (weight in kg × kcal/kg body weight) ÷ kcal/kg of food × 1000.

Accepts pet weight in pounds and converts internally.

Uses manufacturer kcal/kg from the food bag label.

How to use

  1. Enter Weight in lb.
  2. Enter kcal/kg of food from the packaging.
  3. Enter kcal/kg body weight — often ~70 for a moderately active adult dog.
  4. Read Food/day in grams.

Good to know

  • Split the daily amount into 2–3 meals; puppies and highly active dogs need higher kcal/kg values.
