From weight to a daily bowl
01 · Start with weight
Body weight is the biggest driver of how much energy a dog needs each day — so we start there.
02 · Adjust for life & activity
Puppies burn far more per kilo; seniors and low-key dogs need less. Age and activity fine-tune the number.
03 · Get a daily portion
We turn calories into grams and cups of dry food, split across two meals — ready to measure out.
Feeding questions
How many meals a day?
Two evenly-spaced meals suit most adult dogs. Puppies usually need three to four smaller meals.
My food has different calories
This assumes about 3.5 kcal per gram of dry food. Check your bag's kcal and adjust — wet food is far less energy-dense.
My dog is gaining or losing weight
Nudge the amount by about 10% and re-check body condition every couple of weeks. Your vet can set a healthy target weight.
Do treats count?
Yes — every treat and chew. Keep them under about 10% of daily calories, or portions quietly creep up.
