Cat food portion calculator for wet food, dry food and treats
Wet food says kcal per can. Dry food says kcal per cup. Treats are somehow "just a few." BowlMath turns those label numbers into one daily feeding plan you can actually follow: enter your cat's weight and the calories on your labels, and get a per-meal plan for wet food, dry food and treats.

Cat feeding questions, answered
How do I calculate wet and dry food portions for my cat?
Enter your cat's weight and the calories from each food label. BowlMath estimates a daily calorie target, subtracts treats, then splits the remaining calories between wet and dry food.
Can I use BowlMath if my cat gets treats?
Yes. Add treat calories per piece or per day and BowlMath subtracts them before calculating the wet and dry food portions.
Is BowlMath veterinary advice?
No. BowlMath gives a starting estimate based on common cat calorie formulas. Adjust portions based on your cat's body condition, weight trend, and your vet's guidance.
Should I measure cat food by grams, cups, cans, or pouches?
Use the unit printed on the food label first. Wet food is often listed as kcal per can, pouch, tray, or 100g. Dry food is often listed as kcal per cup, gram, 100g, or kg.
Why split wet and dry cat food by calories?
Wet food and dry food have very different calorie density. Splitting by calories first makes the daily plan clearer than splitting by volume or package size.
How often should I update my cat's feeding amount?
Recheck portions when your cat's weight, activity, body condition, food, treats, or life stage changes. Use weight trend and veterinary guidance to adjust.
