The Dog Food Calculator
Two sums that most owners have never been shown. Ten seconds each.
Which food actually has more?
A bag with more water in it looks worse than it is. Take the water out of both and compare what is left.
Food A
Food B
Fill in protein and moisture for both foods and the answer appears here.
How many treats is too many?
Treats are meant to stay under a tenth of what your dog eats in a day. Here is what that tenth actually looks like.
Put in your dog's weight and the treat budget appears here.
| Treat | Calories | Fits in the day |
|---|
Approximate, check the packet. Dental chews and training treats vary a lot between brands.
This is an estimate. The feeding guide on the bag and your vet take priority, especially for puppies, seniors, or dogs with a health condition.
The rest of the bag
The calculator does two sums. The book reads the whole bag.
- The four things on the back of the bag that actually matter, and how to judge any food in about ninety seconds.
- What the product name legally means: why "Chicken Dinner" needs far less chicken than "Chicken Dog Food".
- One hundred treats and games that fit inside the daily treat budget.

I'd thought about meals and enrichment as two separate jobs. The idea of planning activities around the food already allocated for the day made the two halves of the book click together for me.

I understood the individual chapters, but the three invented food bags were where it clicked. Having the same checks applied each time made it much easier to follow.
