🔥 Daily Calorie Calculator
Determine exactly how many calories your dog needs each day based on their unique profile.
Your Dog's Profile
Enter your dog's details to calculate their Resting Energy Requirement (RER) and daily caloric needs.
📖 Understanding the Calorie Formula
This calculator uses the scientifically validated Resting Energy Requirement (RER) formula:
- RER = 70 × (body weight in kg)^0.75 — the calories needed at total rest
- Activity Multiplier: Low=1.2, Moderate=1.4, High=1.6, Very High=2.0
- Age Factor: Puppy (<1yr) gets ×1.5–2.0, Senior (>7yr) gets ×0.9
- Neutered Factor: Neutered dogs have ~20–25% lower caloric needs than intact dogs
