Accurately calculate your pet's daily energy requirement and stop accidental overfeeding.
Pet caloric needs are calculated using Resting Energy Requirement (RER), based on body weight in kg: RER = 70 × (kg)0.75. This is then multiplied by an activity factor to determine Daily Energy Requirements (DER).
Measuring kibble by volume using measuring cups can lead to portion variances of up to 20% due to settling and kibble size differences. Weighing food in grams using a digital scale ensures exact calorie control.
For safe weight loss, pets should generally consume around 80% of their maintenance energy requirement under veterinary supervision. PawPortion automatically calculates adjusted caloric targets based on your selection.
