About Us
DogFoodCalculator.org — Science-Based Pet Nutrition Tools, Free for Every Pet Owner
Welcome to DogFoodCalculator.org — the leading free, science-based pet nutrition tool suite trusted by pet owners, veterinary professionals, and dog trainers worldwide.
🐾 Our Mission
Every pet deserves a personalized, balanced, and optimized nutrition plan. Pets cannot speak for themselves — and feeding by guesswork too often leads to dangerous conditions like obesity, malnutrition, urinary stones, or early-onset kidney disease.
Our mission is to make veterinary nutrition science accessible to every pet owner — simplifying complex formulas into intuitive tools that anyone can use in seconds, with a single slider drag.
🔬 Our Scientific Standards
Every algorithm and calculation on our platform is built using peer-reviewed veterinary science and the gold standards of:
- 🏅AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) — Minimum nutrient requirements for dogs and cats.
- 📚NRC (National Research Council) — Recommended allowances for companion animal nutrition.
- 🏥Clinical guidelines from leading veterinary universities including UC Davis, Cornell, and Tufts.
- ⚗️The Waltham Pocket Book of Essential Nutrition for Cats and Dogs by Mars Petcare Science.
