Dog Food Portion Calculator

Cups per day is just your dog's daily calorie target divided by the food's calories per cup — the number that matters is on the bag as kcal/cup or kcal/kg, not the generic feeding chart, since exact recipes vary. Enter your numbers below.

Why kcal/cup matters more than the bag's feeding chart

Generic feeding charts are printed for an average recipe density and a generic activity level — they can be off by a meaningful margin for your dog's actual calorie target. Calorie-based portioning starts from the number your dog actually needs and works backward, which stays accurate regardless of which chart column looks closest to your dog's weight.
