這篇和Donald R. Strombeck, DVM, PhD書中建議量略有不同
RER的算法：（2∼45公斤）
每日卡洛里RER仟卡基數＝（犬體重×30）＋70

每日能量需求係數 |

仔犬—斷奶到4個月齡 |

仔犬—4個月齡到成犬 |

哺乳期母狗 |
4∼8 |
以12公斤的3歲結紮公的柯基為例：（就Bonny啦）
每日卡洛里RER仟卡基數=（12×30）＋70＝430 kcal/day
每日能量需求=係數x基數=1.6×430 kcal/day＝688 kcal/day（約700大卡）
若食用每公斤代謝能量3365仟卡的飼料
每日食用飼料重量＝688/3365＝0.204公斤＝204公克，若一日兩餐，每餐102克
算法二：
2～7歲成犬-體重的0.75次方 X 125
兩歲以下-約多10％～20％
七歲以上-約減少20％

依計算結果餵食，每日觀察狗兒排便情況
如果排便成型：每週測量體重，體重若增加：餵食量減少10%；體重若減少，餵食量增加10%。
如果排便不成型：減量觀察

a Presumes an energy density of 3.5 kcal ME/g DM, based on the "modified Atwater" values of 3.5, 8.5, and 3.5 kcal/g for protein, fat, and carbohydrate (nitrogen-free extract, NFE), respectively. Rations greater than 4.0 kcal/g should be corrected for energy density; rations less than 3.5 kcal/g should not be corrected for energy.
b Although a true requirement for fat per se has not been established, the minimum level was based on recognition of fat as a source of essential fatty acids, as a carrier of fat-soluble vitamins, to enhance palatability, and to supply an adequate caloric density.
c Because of very poor bioavailability, iron from carbonate or oxide sources that are added to the diet should not be considered as components in meeting the minimum nutrient level.
d Because of very poor bioavailability, copper from oxide sources that are added to the diet should not be considered as components in meeting the minimum nutrient level.
e Because processing may destroy up to 90 percent of the thiamine in the diet, allowance in formulation should be made to ensure the minimum nutrient level is met after processing.
