Nutrient Calculators
Tools for understanding specific nutrients in your pet’s food — starting with protein, using authoritative AAFCO reference standards rather than invented targets.
Dog Protein Calculator
Convert your dog food’s label protein percentage to a dry-matter basis and see it against AAFCO’s published minimum standards.
Dog Protein Requirements (guide)
Understand what crude protein means, how to convert it to a dry-matter basis, and how AAFCO’s published minimums compare for adult dogs and puppies.
Cat Protein Calculator
Convert your cat food’s label protein percentage to a dry-matter basis and compare it against AAFCO’s published minimum standards for cats.
Cat Protein Requirements (guide)
Understand what crude protein means, how to convert it to a dry-matter basis, and how AAFCO’s published minimums compare for adult cats and kittens.
Calcium:Phosphorus Ratio Calculator
Calculate the Ca:P ratio from your pet food’s calcium and phosphorus percentages, with AAFCO reference context for dogs and cats.
Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio Guide
Learn what the Ca:P ratio means, why both minerals must be compared on the same basis, and why the ratio alone cannot show a diet is complete or right for a growing puppy.
More nutrient-specific calculators and guides will be added to this hub over time.
