Common questions
How many calories does an adult Cavador need per day?
For an average adult Cavador around 15.3 kg with a moderate activity level (typical daily walks), that's roughly 846 kcal per day. Less active dogs need closer to 635 kcal, very active or working dogs closer to 1058 kcal. Every dog's food packaging shows kcal per 100g, so you can work out the right daily amount from there.
How much should I feed my Cavador puppy?
Growing puppies need significantly more calories relative to their current weight than adults, roughly 1323 kcal/day at an adult-equivalent weight of 15.3 kg, split across 3–4 meals a day rather than the usual 2. Follow your specific puppy food's feeding guide as they grow, since a puppy's needs change quickly.
Is this the same as what a vet would recommend?
This uses the standard RER (Resting Energy Requirement) formula vets use as a starting point, but every dog is an individual - body condition, spay/neuter status, and specific food all affect the right amount. Use this as a starting estimate and adjust based on your dog's actual body condition, or ask your vet.
