Treat Calorie Calculator

Estimate how many calories your dog or cat receives each day from treats, table food, and small extras.

Enter your pet’s daily calorie goal and the number of treats given to see how much those extras contribute to total daily intake. Veterinary guidelines generally recommend keeping treats to no more than 10% of a pet’s daily calories to help reduce the risk of weight gain and obesity.
