🍽️ Pet Feeding Calculator

Find out how much to feed your pet based on their weight, activity level, and life stage.

How We Calculate Feeding Amounts

Our calculator uses the veterinary standard Resting Energy Requirement (RER) formula, then adjusts based on your pet's activity level and life stage:

  • Puppies/Kittens: Need 2-3× adult calories for growth
  • Active adults: Need more calories than couch potatoes
  • Seniors: Often need fewer calories due to slower metabolism
  • Overweight pets: May need 20-30% fewer calories

Note: This is an estimate based on average food (~350 cal/cup for dogs, ~250 cal/cup for cats). Check your specific food's calorie content and adjust accordingly. When in doubt, consult your vet.
