determine the caloric need for a 29kg dog and a 10kg cat daily energy requirements The dog is 8yr boxer with diabetes. the cat is a female 6yrs and a indoor house cats with no special needs Show all of the steps/calculations taken to get the answer., should have 2 calculations a piece for each animal. the last one being life stage factor for daily energy requirments Then how many cups of food daily for each animal

Answer 1

Weight of the dog is 29kg

Calories required by dogs :

Weight × 70×^0.75

= 29× 70× ^0.75 calories

= 1400 calories

#.Depending on the product, one cup of dry dog food had 217 to 440 calories.

Let's take it as 1 cup of dog food provides 440calories

Using unitary method :-

440 calories is present in 1cup of dog food

1 calorie will be present in 1/440 cup of dog

Then 1440 calories will be present in 1/440× 1440 cups

= 3.2~ 3 cups of dog food should be provided .

Weight of the cat is 10kg

A normal cat’s energy requirements, in calories (kcals), can be estimated by a simple formula:

Kcals = (weightkg ^ 0.75) * 70 * factor

Factor of a normal cat is 1.2

Hence , calories needed by cat = 10× 70×^0.75× 1.2

= 472 calories

For cats, a cup of diet food contained 235 to 480 calories.

#. The cat should be provided 1 cup of cat food
