Pet Wellness Calculators
Free tools for everyday pet health — age in human years, daily calories, food portions, ideal weight and body condition, water intake, and exercise needs.
Pet Age in Human Years
Convert your dog or cat's age with the modern size-aware model — a fast first two years, then a per-year rate set by adult size
Daily Calorie Needs (RER / MER)
Turn weight and life stage into a daily calorie target using the RER = 70 × kg^0.75 formula scaled to a maintenance requirement
Food Portion Calculator
Convert a calorie target into cups or grams of your specific food, using its energy density and split across meals
Ideal Weight & Body Condition
Estimate ideal weight from current weight and 9-point body condition score, with how much to lose or gain
Daily Water Intake
Estimate how much water your dog or cat needs per day in ml, cups, and fluid ounces of total daily water
Exercise & Activity Needs
Get a daily activity target from species, size, and life stage, split into sensible, adaptable sessions
Pet Care Reference Tables
Daily calories by weight and life stage, water intake ranges, and what each body condition score means in kilograms — computed from the VetYoga calculators
Museum of Companion Animals
Wander an illustrated collection of the animals we share our homes with — the companion species and popular breeds, the foundations of pet nutrition, and the everyday care and enrichment that keep them well, each in its own gallery. Get to know the animals behind the calculators, with every entry, image, and fact drawn from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
