A general guideline is to keep treats and other extras to 10% or less of total daily calories. Choose 5% if you want a lower comparison goal.

Step 2: Add your pet’s treats

Use one row for each different treat your pet gets. Add an optional name, then enter how many are given per day and the calories in one treat. Two rows are shown to start.

Other food extras (optional)

Include table food, chews, toppers, leftovers, food used for medications, and bites from another pet’s bowl.

Enter the estimated total for a typical day. Leave blank if none.

Total intake calculator

General guideline: treats and extras should provide 10% or less of daily calories. If you selected 5%, your goal is lower.

Reminder: This tool provides an educational estimate. If your pet has a medical condition, is on a therapeutic diet, or has a veterinarian-prescribed calorie plan, follow your veterinary team’s recommendations.
