Frequently asked questions
- What inputs do I need for accurate portions?
- Enter your dog's weight, the food's calories per cup (or per gram), and how many meals you feed. The label kcal value matters more than the cup size on the scoop you use.
- Why doesn't my scoop match the cups on the bag?
- Marketing cups and your kitchen scoop are not always the same volume. Weighing food with a scale for a few days is the most reliable way to hit the calorie target.
- Should I reduce portions if my dog gets lots of treats?
- Yes. Treats should usually stay under about 10 percent of daily calories. Trim meal portions or use smaller training treats so the total day still matches the goal.
- When should a vet adjust my dog's portions?
- Ask your vet if your dog is growing, pregnant, nursing, or on a medical diet. Sudden appetite changes or unexplained weight shift also deserve a professional check.
