Daily treat budget - kcal/day enter a weight to see the budget

Daily calorie estimate: -

Treat budget (10%): -

For scale: the WSAVA guide lists about 46 kcal for 1 oz (28 g) of ham, 47 kcal for the same weight of lean cooked chicken breast and 64 kcal for lean cooked beef. Its own table allows a 20 kg dog 79 kcal of treats a day, so read the figure above as an upper bound - small, low-calorie rewards go a lot further.

Treats over 10% of daily calories unbalance a complete diet. On a big-treat day, cut the meal slightly to keep the total in check.

A healthy-adult estimate, not a prescription. Puppies, pregnant/nursing dogs and dogs with medical conditions differ. Treat calories on packaging vary - check the label, and let your vet fine-tune a weight-management plan.
