What it does
The veterinary 10% rule: treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calories. This tool runs the standard RER × activity-factor formula (RER = 70 × kg0.75, AAFCO/AAHA-aligned), then shows how many of 12 common treats fit under that cap — from 1-kcal blueberries to 110-kcal bully sticks.
For the full breakdown including foods to never feed, weight-loss adjustments, and low-calorie training alternatives, see how to feed dog treats without overdoing it.
