Dog Food Portion Calculator
Over 50% of dogs are overweight. Feeding the right amount for your dog's weight and activity level is the single most impactful thing you can do for their long-term health.
Feeding Your Dog Right
The % Body Weight Rule
Adult dogs typically need 2–3% of their body weight daily in food. Puppies need 4–6%. Active dogs and working breeds need the higher end; senior and sedentary dogs the lower end. Always adjust based on body condition score, not just weight.
Body Condition Score
Feel your dog's ribs — you should be able to feel them easily without pressing hard, but not see them. If you can see ribs, they're underweight. If you can't feel them, they're overweight. This hands-on check is more accurate than any formula.
Always Follow Pack Guidelines
This calculator gives a starting point — always cross-reference with the manufacturer's guidelines on your specific food, as caloric density varies significantly. Adjust portions every 4–6 weeks based on your dog's body condition.
