Frequently Asked Questions

Our tools are built on established veterinary formulas and guidelines — including the RER calorie formula, BARF raw feeding ratios, and the 9-point Body Condition Score system used by veterinarians. However, these tools are educational resources and do not replace personalized veterinary advice. Always consult your vet for medical decisions.

The RER (Resting Energy Requirement) formula used in our calorie calculator is the same formula used in veterinary practice. It provides a reliable starting estimate, but individual dogs may vary based on metabolism, health conditions, and spay/neuter status. Use the result as a starting point and adjust based on your dog's body condition over 2–4 weeks.

No — our Medication Dosage Safety Guide is strictly an educational reference. It shows general dosage ranges to help dog owners understand what to expect, but it does NOT provide prescriptions. Never administer medication to your dog without explicit guidance from a licensed veterinarian. Incorrect dosing can be dangerous or fatal.

The BCS is a 1–9 scale used by vets to assess a dog's body fat. Score 5 is ideal: you can feel the ribs but not see them, and there's a visible waist from above. Scores 1–3 indicate underweight, 4–5 are healthy, 6–7 are overweight, and 8–9 indicate obesity. Our Ideal Weight Estimator includes descriptions for each score.

BARF stands for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. It's a raw feeding approach that mirrors a dog's ancestral diet, typically consisting of 70% muscle meat, 10% raw bone, 10% secreting organs, 5% liver, and 5% plant matter. Our Raw Feeding Calculator uses these ratios adjusted for your dog's weight and activity level.
