Raw feeding calculator FAQs

What is a raw feeding calculator?

A raw feeding calculator gives a general estimate of how much raw food to feed based on details like weight, life stage, activity level and feeding model.

Should I use current weight or ideal weight?

Use your pet's ideal weight where possible. If you are unsure what that should be, ask your vet before changing feeding amounts.

What is the difference between BARF and PMR?

BARF-style models usually include meat, edible bone, organs and some plant ingredients. PMR-style models usually focus on meat, edible bone and organs. Both are educational models, not guaranteed complete diets.

Are raw feeding calculators accurate?

They are estimates only. Food energy density, activity level, body condition and individual needs vary, so reassess regularly and seek professional guidance for long-term diets.

Is raw feeding right for every pet?

No. Puppies, kittens, pregnant or lactating pets, seniors and pets with medical conditions may need individual advice from a vet or veterinary nutritionist.

Can I email myself the result?
