FAQ
How much should I feed my dog?
A working rule is about 2% of adult body weight in dry food per day — roughly 300 g for a 15 kg dog. Bag guidelines vary by calorie density, so treat the calculator's estimate as a starting point and adjust to keep the body condition lean.
How much should a cat eat?
Cats need proportionally more: near 3% of body weight in dry food, so a 4 kg cat eats around 120 g daily. Cats also do better on several small meals; the daily total is what drives cost.
Is bigger dog food always cheaper?
Usually yes — price per kilogram drops sharply from small to large bags. The calculator shows cost per kg and how long a bag lasts; if a giant bag would sit open longer than ~6 weeks, buy mid-size, because fats in dry food go rancid once opened.
