How the Dog Protein Intake Planner works
Methodology
Protein provides approximately 4 kcal per gram, so grams = total calories × protein percentage ÷ 100 ÷ 4.
Frequently asked questions
Is a higher protein percentage always better?+
No. Appropriate diet composition depends on the whole formulation, life stage, calories, health and ingredient digestibility.
Important veterinary note
Calculator outputs are estimates for education and planning. They do not diagnose disease, replace a physical examination, or override advice from a veterinarian who knows your dog.
