How many calories a day does your dog need?
Understanding calories and dog energy needs will help you feed your dog healthy.
Dog energy needs
How many calories is enough?
Do you wonder what the exact energy your dog needs? what to feed them on a daily basis?
No worries, you can determine the calorie your dog needs on a daily basis by knowing how active they are (e.g. are they a working dog), how old they are (energy requirements are different between puppies and fully grown adult dogs) and also whether they are neutered or spayed.
We have written an in-depth article that covers all about energy requirements in dogs.
Current weight and ideal weight
You will also need to consider their current weight and ideal weight. If their current weight is above their ideal, you will need to reduce their calorie intake and vice versa.
Caloric requirements will fluctuate based on a number of other factors, including breed, size, coat length, health status, and environmental temperature.
That means you’ll need to adjust your dog’s food intake as he/she matures or energy needs change.

Calculate the calorie content of dog food
But geneticists digging into the mysteries of aging have developed a new calculation to understand how our canine companions’ ages correspond to our own.
Some dog food labels include a statement of caloric content in the food. A calorie is a measure of energy produced by eating a specific food.
A single calorie is a unit of measure for the energy in a unit of 1,000 calories, termed a “kilocalorie” (or interchangeably as a calorie).
You won’t always see the disclosure of calories on the dog food label. When it appears, it’s stated as “kilocalories per Kg of food.” It’s also often labeled as “calories per cup” or “per unit” of food.
A large percentage of canned foods is water (up to 70 percent). That’s why dogs must eat more canned foods than dry diets to obtain the same energy intake.
