Glossary

RER (Resting Energy Requirement)

This is the energy your pet needs for basic body functions at rest, such as breathing, circulation, and digestion. It's the baseline for calculating their total daily needs. The formula is: RER = 70 * (body weight in kg)^0.75.

DER (Daily Energy Requirement)

This is the total number of calories your pet needs in a day. It's calculated by multiplying the RER by factors that account for their age, activity level, reproductive status, and health goals. This calculator uses established veterinary factors to estimate the DER.
