Dog Calorie Calculator
Calories per day are the anchor — cups are just math on top of your bag's density. This page foregrounds daily kcal alongside rounded cup amounts for a 60-pound intact adult at 380 kcal per cup.
Controls below show unrounded kcal next to round-down portions. Active working dogs display a range when the factor spans 2.0–5.0 instead of a false single number.
Puppies and seniors need curves, not one maintenance figure forever. Re-run when weight changes or your vet adjusts the target.
