1. What is the Royal Canin Calculator?

The Royal Canin Calculator helps determine the appropriate daily food ration for cats based on their weight and specific nutritional factors. It uses the formula: Ration = Poids × Facteur.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Royal Canin formula:

Where:

• \( Poids \) — Cat's weight in kilograms (kg)
• \( Facteur \) — Nutritional factor in grams per kilogram (g/kg)
• \( Ration \) — Daily food ration in grams (g/jour)

Explanation: The formula calculates the appropriate daily food portion based on the cat's weight and specific nutritional requirements.

3. Importance of Proper Ration Calculation

Details: Accurate ration calculation is essential for maintaining optimal feline health, preventing obesity, and ensuring proper nutrition for different life stages and health conditions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the cat's weight in kilograms and the appropriate nutritional factor. Consult your veterinarian or the Royal Canin feeding guide for the correct factor based on your cat's specific needs.
