The Math / Science
| Additional factors that affect a dog's daily caloric intake: | |
| Neutered adult | = 1.6 x RER |
| Intact adult | = 1.8 x RER |
| Inactive/obese prone | = 1.2-1.4 x RER |
| Weight loss | = 1.0 x RER for ideal weight |
| Weight gain | = 1.2-1.8 x RER for ideal weight |
| Active, working dogs | = 2.0-5.0 x RER |
| Puppy 0-4 months | = 3.0 x RER |
| Puppy 4 months to adult | = 2.0 x RER |
