Puppies and growth
Start with your weaned puppy’s current weight, age in weeks and expected adult weight. Pawsmenu calculates growth-stage energy and protein targets and other nutritional requirements. Update the details as your puppy grows.
AN EASIER EVERYDAY ROUTINE
Today’s ingredients. Today’s needs.
The chicken, meat or fish in your fridge may change, and so may your dog’s age, weight and activity. Pawsmenu helps you plan different menus with suitable ingredients on hand and recalculate quantities for their current needs.
Nutritional calculations for each life stage
Adult life and daily activity
Calculate daily energy needs using your dog’s weight and activity level. Whether life is quieter or more active, the life stage and activity details you select guide the meal quantities.
Pregnancy and developing puppies
Pregnancy calculations consider maternal maintenance and changing needs as puppies develop. Enter the mother’s weight and day of pregnancy; Pawsmenu uses the corresponding targets in its menu calculations.
Nursing
Enter the mother’s weight, lactation week and number of puppies. Pawsmenu automatically calculates energy and nutrient targets for one to eight puppies during the first four weeks.
Later life
Select the senior life stage and enter current weight and activity. Pawsmenu updates the energy and nutrient calculations and shows menu options with revised amounts.
Current weight, current calculation
Use current details for dogs of different breeds, sizes and daily routines. Update the weight after a new weigh-in and let Pawsmenu recalculate daily energy and nutrient targets.
New options with ingredients at home.
You can plan a chicken-based menu today and explore fish or beef another day. Use the preparation method and gram weights listed for the chosen food, and review the energy and nutrient profile of each new combination.

How it worksWhat informs the calculation
Calculations use NRC nutritional requirements by life stage and ingredient data from USDA FoodData Central.
