Wet/Dry Cat Food Calculator

Work out how much wet and dry food to serve each day, in cans, pouches, cups or grams.

Build your daily feeding plan

Use your total daily target and each package's calories. Choose cans, pouches, cups or grams to make a daily feeding plan.

Total includes treats. Estimate daily calories if you need a starting point.

60% wet / 40% dry calories

The dry share is calculated from the remaining percentage.

Use the actual amount, or 0 for no treats.

Check the package

Use calories from the exact recipe and package size. Do not mix package percentages with calories.

Next steps

Put the result into practice.

Plan everyday feeding

Start with weight and body condition, then work through calories and portions.

A few common questions

Can this tell me the perfect food mix?

No. It converts calories into portions. Texture preference, hydration, medical diets, and stomach tolerance still matter.

Should treats be included?

Enter the calories in the treats you actually give, or 0 for none. Treats should generally be no more than 10% of the daily total; the rest should come from complete and balanced food.
