Disclaimer
PawCalcHub provides educational pet nutrition calculators and guides. This page explains what that means and what the tools cannot do.
Educational Purpose
The calculators and articles on PawCalcHub are for general information and education only. They are not a veterinary service, and PawCalcHub is not a veterinary clinic.
Feeding Estimates Have Limits
Results such as daily calories and food amounts are estimates built from published formulas and the numbers you enter. They are a starting point to discuss and monitor, not a prescription or a guaranteed amount. The accuracy of a result depends on the accuracy of what you enter, including your pet’s weight and the calories printed on your food’s label.
Every Pet Is Different
Pets of the same weight can need noticeably different amounts of food because of age, activity, body condition, health and other factors. A calculator cannot account for all of these. Watch your pet’s weight and body condition and adjust with professional guidance.
Talk to a Veterinarian
Please consult a licensed veterinarian before changing your pet’s diet, especially if your pet has a medical condition, is on a prescription or therapeutic diet, is pregnant or nursing, is very young or old, or has had an unexplained change in weight, appetite or thirst. Do not delay or ignore veterinary advice because of anything on this website.
Accuracy and Corrections
We aim to base content on published veterinary references (see Sources & References and Methodology), but we cannot guarantee that every statement is complete or current. If you find an error, please contact us.
Using the Website
Use PawCalcHub as one source of information alongside your veterinarian. Mentions of organizations and publications are for sourcing only and do not imply endorsement of or affiliation with PawCalcHub. Links to other websites are provided for convenience, and we are not responsible for their content.
