About petfoodcal
Providing dog and cat owners with a clear, unbiased, and completely free tool to calculate accurate daily portions for their pets.
Discover Why We Built This Tool
Finding reliable feeding guidelines for your dog or cat shouldn't be complicated. We created this tool to solve two main challenges:
- Brand Bias: Most online calculators are owned by pet food companies. They often recommend larger portions to sell more food or lock you into expensive subscriptions.
- Over-Complication: Clinical calculators are designed for vets. They require complex inputs like body condition scores and precise calorie counts, which are confusing for average owners.
Our goal is simple: to bridge this gap by providing easy-to-use, brand-neutral, and accurate meal plans for every dog or cat owner.
Ensure 100% Neutrality: No Brand Bias
We prioritize your pet's health above all else. Here is our promise to you:
- No Product Selling: We do not sell any pet food or dietary supplements.
- No Affiliate Tracking: We do not host sponsored shopping links or push specific brands.
- No Email Collection: You can use all our features freely without sharing your personal information.
- Science-Backed Formulas: Our calculations are strictly based on peer-reviewed animal nutrition research.
Whether your pet eats raw meat, cooked recipes, dry kibble, wet food, or a mix of everything, we give you clean, mathematical recommendations tailored to your pet's exact details.
Review Our Scientific Formula Baseline
Our calculator implements standard metabolic scaling formulas used by animal nutritionists:
- Puppies & Kittens: 5% to 10% daily intake based on developmental growth brackets
- Adult Dogs: 2.5% daily intake for stable maintenance
- Adult Cats: 3.0% daily intake for stable maintenance
- Seniors: 2.0% daily intake to accommodate slower metabolic rates
- Modifiers: Breed size (dogs only), activity levels, feeding goals, and neutering status
