Dog Calorie Calculator

Find out how many calories your dog needs each day. Get a helpful estimate based on weight and life stage.

Dogs with excess weight may need a calorie plan based on their ideal weight rather than current weight. Consult your veterinarian.

YOUR DOG'S ESTIMATED DAILY NEED
— kcal/day
Resting Energy Requirement — kcal

Enter your dog's weight and details to see the estimated daily calorie requirement.

Important Disclaimer: This calculator provides an estimated daily calorie requirement, not a veterinary feeding prescription. Actual calorie needs vary based on breed, age, activity, body condition, health and environment. Always consult your veterinarian before making significant changes to your dog's diet, especially for puppies or dogs with health conditions.

Important Safety Notice: This calculator provides an initial estimate and does not replace veterinary advice. Weight-loss calorie targets must be individualized and monitored by a veterinarian. Never fast your cat or make sudden, severe reductions in food. Rapid weight loss or inadequate food intake can put cats at risk of hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease). If your cat stops eating or eats significantly less than usual, contact your veterinarian promptly.
