Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this feature

The AI uses veterinary-standard formulas that account for your dog's weight, age, activity level, spay/neuter status, and health conditions. It calculates resting energy requirements (RER) and applies multipliers based on activity level—from sedentary to working dogs—to determine daily calorie needs.

Activity levels range from sedentary (mostly indoor, minimal exercise) to light (regular walks), moderate (daily active play), active (regular running/hiking), to working/highly active (agility, hunting, herding). The more active your dog, the higher their calorie needs.

Conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, and weight management needs affect calorie requirements. The AI adjusts calculations based on veterinary guidelines for specific conditions. For weight loss, it calculates a calorie deficit; for weight gain, a surplus. Always consult your vet for medical nutrition plans.

Use the daily calorie total to determine portion sizes for your dog's food. The AI can convert calories to cups or grams based on your food's caloric density. Split the total into 2-3 meals per day for most dogs. Monitor your dog's weight and adjust as needed.

Recalculate when your dog's weight changes significantly, activity level changes, or as they age. Puppies need frequent recalculation as they grow. Senior dogs may need adjustments as metabolism slows. Annual recalculation is recommended for adult dogs with stable routines.
