HoundGames Launches Most Accurate Dog Feeding Calculator Using RER Method

▤ Summary

RER is calculated by using this formula found on the Ohio State University of Veterinarian Medical Science website: Take a dog’s weight. This figure is then multiplied by the dog’s kg weight raised to the ¾ power by 70. To then accurately calculate a dog’s Daily Energy Requirement (or DER) other factors are then considered. This RER multiplied produces the kcals required to meet the DER for that specific dog and not their breed. For more complex life situations, such as an overweight, neutered adult working dog, a visit to a veterinarian is recommended for tailored professional advice.
