Frequently asked questions

What is RER?
Resting energy requirement: the calories needed at rest, the starting point vets use before adjusting for life stage and activity.
Do treats count?
Yes. Keep treats under about 10% of daily calories.
How do I know if the amount is right?
Watch body condition: you should feel ribs easily under a thin layer of fat. Adjust 5–10% at a time.

General guidance only. Every dog is different; check body condition and confirm feeding targets with your vet. No food, including ours, prevents or treats illness.

Real dogs. Real bowls.
