How much should I feed my dog?
A typical adult needs about 70 × weight(kg)^0.75 × 1.6 calories daily. Convert to cups using your food’s kcal-per-cup, then split across meals.
How do I turn calories into cups?
Find the kcal-per-cup on your food’s bag and divide the daily calorie estimate by it. E.g., 600 kcal/day ÷ 350 kcal/cup ≈ 1.7 cups.
Does activity change the amount?
Yes — working or very active dogs need more; couch-potato or senior dogs less. Adjust the activity factor accordingly.
Is this veterinary advice?
No — it’s an estimate. Your vet can set the right intake for your dog’s age, weight goal, and health.
