Diet Calculator

Work out how many calories your dog or cat needs each day, and translate that into a portion of the food you actually feed.

Enter a body weight to calculate the daily requirement.

Energy requirements vary by up to 50% between individuals of the same weight. Use this as a starting point, weigh your pet every two to four weeks, and adjust. For weight loss use the target weight, aim for 1–2% loss per week, and never crash-diet a cat — rapid loss risks hepatic lipidosis.
