Common questions
How many calories does an adult Curly-Coated Retriever need per day?
For an average adult Curly-Coated Retriever around 33 kg with a moderate activity level (typical daily walks), that's roughly 1696 kcal per day. Less active dogs need closer to 1272 kcal, very active or working dogs closer to 2120 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 Curly-Coated Retriever puppy?
Growing puppies need significantly more calories relative to their current weight than adults, roughly 2650 kcal/day at an adult-equivalent weight of 33 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.
