Dog Calorie Calculator Puppy – Accurate Nutrition Guide

This tool will calculate the daily calorie needs for your puppy based on their weight, age, and activity level.

How to Use the Puppy Calorie Calculator

To use the puppy calorie calculator, enter your puppy’s weight in kilograms, age in months, select the activity level that best describes your puppy, and select the puppy’s breed size. After you have filled out all the fields, click the “Calculate” button. The result will display the estimated daily calorie needs for your puppy.

How the Calculator Works

This formula takes into account the weight, activity level, and breed size of your puppy to determine a comprehensive estimate of daily calorie needs.
