⚠️
Important safety note

Calorie needs can vary considerably between pets. Use the result as a starting estimate, monitor weight and body condition, and confirm important changes with a veterinarian.

About the calculation

The energy estimate starts with the Resting Energy Requirement formula: RER = 70 × body weight in kilograms0.75. A life-stage and reproductive-status factor is then applied. Treat calories, when selected, are reserved at up to 10% of the estimated daily total.

Because individual needs vary, the amount should be adjusted only after monitoring weight, body condition, appetite and veterinary guidance.
