How much should your Husky eat each day? This calculator gives a daily calorie estimate from your dog’s weight and life stage. Use it as a starting point, then check your dog’s body condition every couple of weeks and adjust.

How the estimate works
The calculator starts from your dog’s resting energy requirement (RER), which is the energy needed at rest: 70 × (weight in kg)0.75. It then multiplies that by a factor for life stage and activity. A spayed or neutered adult is usually around 1.6 × RER, a growing puppy 2 to 3 × RER, and a working sled dog can need several times more.
To turn calories into food, check the kcal per cup or per 100 g on your dog food’s label. If your Husky gains weight, feed about 10% less. If they lose weight, feed about 10% more. Remember to count treats as well.
This is a guideline only. Every dog is different, so ask your vet about the right amount for yours, especially for puppies, pregnant or nursing dogs, and dogs with health problems.
