Why weigh-based feeding beats the scoop

A cup of freeze-dried chicken weighs about 51 g, roughly half a cup of kibble, so feeding by cup without the label leads to the wrong amount. This calculator uses the printed serving table and 200 kcal per cup for Chicken.

Topper or complete meal?

Topper mode replaces a quarter of her current bowl with real meat and organs, the most popular way to start. Complete-meal mode is the full daily serving.
