Common questions about pet food portions

The amount depends on your dog's weight, age, body shape, and activity level. Wet food contains a lot of water, so the serving weight is usually higher than dry food. Choose "Wet or canned food" in the calculator to get a daily gram amount and meal split.

After you calculate the daily food amount, enter your bag size in pounds or kilograms. The calculator divides the bag weight by the daily amount and estimates when you may need to buy more.

Wet food contains more water, while dry food is more concentrated. That means the gram amount for wet food can look bigger even when the calories are similar.
