1. What is the Royal Canin Mini Puppy Food Calculator?

The Royal Canin Mini Puppy Food Calculator helps determine the appropriate daily food amount for small breed puppies based on their body weight and the calorie content of their food. This ensures optimal nutrition for healthy growth and development.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{Daily Amount (grams)} = \frac{70 \times (\text{Body Weight in kg})^{0.75} \times 3.0}{\text{Calories per Gram}} \]

Where:

\( \text{Body Weight} \) — Puppy's current weight in kilograms
\( \text{Calories per Gram} \) — Energy content of the food (g/kcal)
70 — Metabolic weight coefficient
3.0 — Growth factor multiplier for puppies
0.75 — Exponent for metabolic weight calculation

Explanation: The formula calculates the metabolic weight and applies a growth factor to determine the appropriate daily food intake for small breed puppies.
