🍽️ Dog & Cat Calorie Calculator (Daily Feeding)
How many calories does your pet need per day? Enter weight and life stage — we use the vet RER/MER formula to estimate daily energy for dogs and cats.

kcal per day
Estimate of Maintenance Energy (MER) from Resting Energy (70 × kg^0.75) × a life-stage factor — the same method vets use as a starting point. Real needs vary with metabolism, breed and health; check your pet's body condition and confirm portions with your veterinarian, and read the calories per cup/can on your food's label.
This gives a starting daily calorie target. Divide it across meals and match it to the calories listed on your pet food's label. Weigh your pet regularly and let your vet fine-tune the amount.
