Dog Food Calculator

How much and how often to feed your dog

Knowing how often and how much to feed your dog is not a simple process. The amount to feed is dependent on the breed of dog, its age and the amount of exercise that the dog gets every day. The calculator below will show you approximately how often to feed your dog, what sort of food to use and what the dogs daily calorie intake should be.

Please note that all results are guidelines only – PawsAway recommend that you regularly check exactly how much to feed your pet with your vet. It also requires some common sense – weight your dog regularly and know the ideal weight for the breed. If your dog is putting on weight, feed it less, and if it is losing weight or feels underweight, feed it more.

Age:		Please select the size of your dog. Small breed dogs are those such as toy dogs, terriers or corgies. Large breed dogs include labra- dors, collies and alsations.
