Calculate Exactly How Much to Feed Your Dog or Cat.

For pet owners who want to feed fresh, raw food, getting the portions right is very important. A raw food calculator calculates exactly how many grams of fresh food your pet needs each day. If you are preparing a raw diet at home, our calculator breaks down the raw portions for you using standard rules. This split is called the 80/10/10 diet. It splits the daily meals into 80% muscle meat (for protein), 10% raw bones (for calcium and minerals), 5% liver, and 5% other organs (like kidneys or spleen) to give your pet all the vitamins they need. Keeping these exact balances prevents bone weakness in growing puppies and organ issues in adult dogs. Our tool splits these daily amounts into separate meals to make your raw meal prep simple.

If you prefer to cook food for your pet at home, using a homemade food calculator is very helpful. Home-cooked diets contain much more water than dry kibble, so you must weigh the portions carefully. Also, if you want to check if fresh pet food delivery subscriptions (like the ones from commercial fresh food companies) are giving you the right amounts, our tool provides a neutral check. You can easily find out how much your pet needs without sharing your email or signing up for paid plans. Our tool calculates the right portion sizes for homemade recipes. This helps you make sure your pet gets a balanced meal that is both healthy and affordable.

Finding the right amount of food starts with calories. A calorie calculator uses simple formulas to find two things: first, the basic calories your pet burns just resting, and second, the actual calories they need for their daily activity. This method calculates portions based on energy, rather than generic measuring cups which can be off by as much as 30%. By using calorie targets, you ensure your dog gets exactly what their body burns. The math starts with a resting energy formula (which is the basic energy needed for breathing and digesting) and then adjusts it based on whether your pet is fixed and how active they are during the day.

Many owners like to feed their pets a mix of both worlds: dry kibble for convenience and clean teeth, and canned wet food for extra water and taste. A wet and dry food calculator is the best way to solve this mix. Our calculator splits the daily calories 50/50. It accounts for the high water content of canned wet food and the dry density of kibble. This split ensures your pet gets the right nutrition without eating too many calories. Mixed feeding is a great way to support healthy joints and smooth digestion. We recommend feeding dry kibble in the morning and wet food in the evening to keep their digestion clean and make mealtime exciting.

Cats are strict meat-eaters. This means their bodies must have animal protein, specific vitamins like taurine, and plenty of water in their food. Because cats can easily get bladder or kidney issues, feeding a mix of wet and dry food is highly recommended. Mixed feeding keeps cats hydrated and helps them maintain a healthy weight. Our cat food calculator looks at your cat's weight, body shape, active level, and spay or neuter status. This is very important for indoor cats who do not move around much and can gain weight easily. For raw feeders, using a raw cat food calculator helps keep the correct meat-to-bone-and-organ balance. If your cat eats store-bought wet food, our calculator shows you how many pouches (like standard 85g or 3oz pouches) to open daily. Feeding the right portion size is the easiest way to help your cat live a long, healthy life.
