This tool will calculate the daily calorie needs for your puppy based on their weight, age, and activity level.
How to Use the Puppy Calorie Calculator
To use the puppy calorie calculator, enter your puppy’s weight in kilograms, age in months, select the activity level that best describes your puppy, and select the puppy’s breed size. After you have filled out all the fields, click the “Calculate” button. The result will display the estimated daily calorie needs for your puppy.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator estimates your puppy’s daily calorie needs using the following formula:
- Resting Energy Requirement (RER): 70 * (Weight in kg)^0.75
- Daily Calorie Needs: RER * Activity Level * Breed Size
This formula takes into account the weight, activity level, and breed size of your puppy to determine a comprehensive estimate of daily calorie needs.
Limitations
