About VetYoga

Caring for a pet is mostly small, daily decisions: how much to put in the bowl, whether that extra weight matters, how long today’s walk should be, whether the water bowl is being emptied more than usual. None of it is complicated, but a lot of it comes down to numbers most owners end up guessing at. VetYoga exists to take the guesswork out of those everyday choices — not to replace your vet, but to help you look after a pet with a little more confidence between visits.

The idea behind the site is simple: the questions that keep a pet healthy are mostly small arithmetic that’s no fun to do by hand. So each calculator answers one of them. The Pet Age in Human Years Calculatoruses the modern, size-aware model instead of the old “times seven.” The Daily Calorie Needs Calculator turns weight and life stage into a target using the same RER and MER formulas vets rely on, and the Food Portion Calculator translates that into cups or grams of your specific food. The Ideal Weight & Body Condition Calculator estimates a realistic target weight from a body condition score, the Daily Water Intake Calculator gives a sensible hydration range, and the Exercise & Activity Needs Calculatorsuggests how much daily activity suits your pet’s size and age.

Around the calculators, the blog and learn section dig into nutrition, healthy weight, preventive care, hydration, and activity, and the Museum of Companion Animalsis a browsable collection of the species and breeds we live with and the everyday care around them — with every entry, image, and fact drawn from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.

A few things worth stating plainly. VetYoga is independent and not affiliated with any veterinary practice, food brand, or pet retailer. It is supported by advertising, which is how the calculators stay free and account-free. Most importantly, everything here is educational, not veterinary advice: the tools produce estimates from the numbers you enter and widely-used conventions, and every pet is an individual. For anything to do with illness, medication, a special diet, or a weight-loss plan — especially for cats, who must never be crash-dieted — talk to a veterinarian who knows your animal. If a tool looks wrong, or you can think of one that belongs here, the contact page is where to tell us.
