Current intake is one part of the weight assessment
The calculator estimates what a pet is currently consuming. It does not determine how many calories the pet should receive or diagnose overweight, obesity, or clinical obesity.
- Verify calorie information on food, treat, and supplement labels.
- Include every source of calories, even small or occasional extras.
- Review the result with body condition, muscle condition, weight trend, activity, health, and veterinary guidance.
