Pet Food Analysis Tools
Tools for reading pet food labels more clearly — starting with converting nutrient percentages to a fair, moisture-adjusted dry matter basis so wet and dry foods can be compared on equal terms.
Dry Matter Calculator
Remove moisture from label values to compare wet and dry pet foods fairly.
Guide: Dry Matter Basis in Pet Food
What dry matter basis means, why moisture affects comparisons, and how to read the numbers correctly.
Pet Food Carbohydrate Calculator
Estimate a food’s carbohydrate/NFE content from label values, shown as-fed and on a dry-matter basis.
Guide: How to Calculate Carbohydrates in Pet Food
What carbohydrate by difference (NFE) means, why ash matters, and how as-fed compares to dry-matter carbohydrate.
Calorie Density Calculator
Convert a known calorie density between kcal/kg, kcal/100g, kcal/g, kcal/oz, and kcal/cup.
Guide: Pet Food Calorie Density
What kcal/kg and metabolizable energy mean, and why calories per cup depends on your food’s grams-per-cup.
Wet + Dry Feeding Calculator
Split a daily calorie target between a wet food and a dry food, and see how many cans, cups or grams of each to feed.
Guide: Wet vs Dry Pet Food
How wet and dry food differ in moisture and calories, what matters when choosing, and how to mix them by calories.
Pet Food Transition Calculator
Plan a gradual switch from an old food to a new one, with a day-by-day mix in cups, grams, cans or pouches.
Guide: How to Transition Pet Food
How long a food switch takes for dogs and cats, how to slow down, and when to call your veterinarian.
