This table is based upon a dog's Resting Energy Requirements or RER. The RER is the basic amount of energy that a dog would use in a day while remaining at rest. The formula to calculate RER for animals between 2 and 45 kg (5 - 99 pounds) is: RER in kcal/day = 30(body weight in kilograms) + 70. Any activity or variable other than rest will require an increase in energy (RER) and an increase in calories to meet the energy needs. Realize that these numbers are not a reflection of maintenance calories but of resting energy levels.
The total energy consumption value is divided by 4.18 kJ in order to convert the value into kilocalories (1 kcal = 4.18 kJ). This calculation represents daily energy consumption. Excess food intake that is not used as energy can be stored in the body as fat.Excessive fat storage can lead to a high body mass index.Body mass index (BMI) indicates a persons body fat and is determined by an individuals height and weight. [2] The normal suggested BMI in adults ranges between 19 and 24.here are only small amounts of ATP in the body so it is necessary to have sufficient energy stores for backup. [1] The amount of daily energy each body requires depends on an individuals daily energy consumption and metabolic energy requirements which can be estimated by body weight and activity level.
