Nutrition calculator for dogs
Welcome to The Fussy Dog Co's Dog Nutrition Calculator. There are lots of amazing and healthy dog food products available but when this company was started it was because I couldn't afford the fancy stuff. Your dog has specific nutritional needs that must be met, but you can keep your dog happy and healthy without spending a fortune.
We know that many people make their own dog food, do raw feeding, or use enrichment, or rotational feeding. This nutritional calculator will help you keep tabs on what nutrients, proteins, minerals, and vitamins your dog is eating.
We have used the AAFCO "Complete and Balanced" guidelines for our full nutritional analysis but if your dog has a varied diet we believe that not every single meal they eat needs to meet every one of these requirements. In the same way we feed ourselves and our children, not every single meal your dog eats needs to be complete and balanced, so long as it balances over time and before any deficiencies become a problem.
Please email us on woof@fussydog.com with any issues, suggestions, gripes, or ingredients you would like us to add.
Please give us more information about your dog
