Common questions
How many calories does an adult Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever need per day?
For an average adult Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever around 20 kg with a moderate activity level (typical daily walks), that's roughly 1072 kcal per day. Less active dogs need closer to 804 kcal, very active or working dogs closer to 1340 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 Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever puppy?
Growing puppies need significantly more calories relative to their current weight than adults, roughly 1675 kcal/day at an adult-equivalent weight of 20 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.
