Common Misconceptions and Correct Methods

Avoiding Common Errors

Misconceptions vs. Facts

  • Don't overfeed based on age alone.
  • Always consult a vet for vaccination timing.

Mathematical Derivation and Examples

  • Age Conversion Formula
  • Calorie & Water Calculations
  • Weight Status Assessment
The calculator uses established veterinary formulas: Human Age = 15 (first year) + 9 (second year) + 4 (each additional year); RER = 70 x (weight^0.75); MER = RER x activity factor; Water = 50 ml/kg.
Calculation Examples

Formula in Action

  • A 3 kg cat: RER = 70 x 3^0.75 ≈ 151 kcal.
  • A 5 kg active male: MER ≈ 70 x 5^0.75 x 1.4 ≈ 315 kcal.
