Find the Perfect Daily Portion
When we brought our first puppy home, figuring out how much to feed him felt like guesswork. That’s why we created this simple, reliable calculator to give every new puppy parent clear, personalized guidance in seconds.
How It Works
Just enter three quick inputs:
- Your puppy’s current weight (in kg)
- Age (in months)
- Activity level (low, medium, or high)
The calculator uses the veterinary-standard Resting Energy Requirement (RER) formula, then adjusts for age and activity to estimate:
- Daily calorie needs
- Recommended cups or grams of dry food
- Suggested number of meals per day

Important Note
This is a helpful starting point based on widely accepted guidelines (average 400 kcal per cup of quality dry puppy food). Every puppy is unique, so please use these numbers as a baseline and adjust according to your vet’s advice, your puppy’s body condition, and growth rate.
Why Accurate Feeding Matters
- Too much food → excess weight and joint stress
- Too little food → slowed growth and low energy
Getting it “just right” supports steady growth, a shiny coat, strong bones, and boundless puppy energy.
Quick Tips After You Calculate
- Split the daily amount into 3–4 meals if under 6 months, then gradually move to 2 meals
- Weigh your puppy weekly and adjust portions as needed
- Using wet food or toppers? Reduce the dry amount slightly to keep calories balanced
- Re-run the calculator every 4–6 weeks – puppies grow fast!
