How we calculate calories
We use the standard veterinary RER (Resting Energy Requirement) formula: 70 × (weight in kg)^0.75, multiplied by an activity factor. For a 45-lb English Springer Spaniel at high activity, that's approximately 1075 kcal per day. Puppies need 2x maintenance; seniors typically 0.8x.
