How much to feed per day
Estimated daily serving (g/day) based on the metabolizable energy of this food (3460 kcal/kg) and the maintenance energy requirement (MER) of an adult cat per FEDIAF 2024, from the lowest value (low-activity dog; neutered or indoor cat) to the moderate one (moderately active dog; active cat). It is a starting point: adjust to your pet's body condition and your veterinarian's advice. The calculation ignores age, neutering (in dogs) and individual clinical conditions.
| Weight of the cat | Energy requirement | Recommended serving |
|---|---|---|
| 3 kg | 157–209 kcal/day | 45–60 g/day |
| 4 kg | 190–253 kcal/day | 55–73 g/day |
| 5 kg | 220–294 kcal/day | 64–85 g/day |
| 6 kg | 249–332 kcal/day | 72–96 g/day |
Formula: maintenance energy (kcal/day) = coefficient × weight(kg)^exponent. Dogs: coefficient 95 (low activity) to 110 (moderate activity), exponent 0.75 (FEDIAF 2024, Table VII-7, p. 55). Cats: coefficient 75 (neutered or indoor) to 100 (active), exponent 0.67 (FEDIAF 2024, Table VII-9, p. 57). Portion (g/day) = energy requirement ÷ (food kcal/kg ÷ 1000).
