Dog Feeding Calculator – Calculate Your Dog's Daily Food Portion by Age and Weight
The Dog Feeding Calculator determines recommended daily food portions based on your dog's weight, age, activity level, and food type. Works for dry food, wet food, and raw diets.
Enter your dog's weight, age, and activity level to see daily portion recommendations in grams/ounces. Remember that package instructions are often oversized — this calculator provides more individualized estimates. Always monitor your dog's body condition and adjust portions as needed.
How Much Should You Feed a Dog Daily?
A 22 lb dog typically needs about 1–1.5 cups of dry food daily. A 66 lb dog needs about 2.5–3 cups. Puppies need more food relative to their size due to rapid growth. Older and less active dogs need less. For overweight dogs, reduce portions by 10–20%.
