How the Pet Treat Allowance Calculator works
Vets commonly advise that treats make up no more than about 10 percent of daily calories. Treat calories = daily calories × share ÷ 100, and treats per day = treat calories ÷ calories per treat, rounded down. Cut the main meal by the same amount so the day still adds up. Example: A pet that eats 1,000 kcal a day can have 100 kcal of treats, which is 3 treats at 30 kcal each.
