The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula provides a customized daily ration calculation that accounts for the dog's size, activity level, and specific dietary requirements.
Details: Accurate ration calculation is essential for maintaining optimal dog health, preventing obesity or malnutrition, and ensuring proper nutrient intake for different life stages and activity levels.
Tips: Enter the dog's weight in kilograms, the appropriate factor based on activity level (typically 20-40 g/kg), and ingredient adjustment factors. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What factors affect the ration calculation?
A: Age, activity level, metabolism, health conditions, and specific nutritional requirements all influence the appropriate ration size.
Q2: How often should I adjust my dog's ration?
A: Rations should be reviewed regularly, especially with changes in weight, activity level, or health status, typically every 3-6 months.
Q3: Can I use this for all dog breeds?
A: While the formula works for most breeds, giant or toy breeds may require special considerations and veterinary guidance.
Q4: What if my dog has special dietary needs?
A: Dogs with medical conditions, allergies, or special nutritional requirements should have their ration calculated under veterinary supervision.
Q5: How do I determine the right factor for my dog?
A: The factor depends on activity level - sedentary dogs need lower factors (20-25 g/kg), while highly active dogs may need higher factors (35-40 g/kg).
