Labrador Retriever Senior Feeding Calculator
Senior Labrador Retrievers often need a different calorie balance than young adults as activity and lean mass change. Typical adult weight for this breed is about 25–45 kg, but always enter your dog’s current weight and honest activity level. This Labrador Retriever senior feeding calculator uses veterinary RER and MER formulas with a senior life-stage factor. Recheck portions after weight or lifestyle changes, and work with your vet if your Labrador Retriever has medical dietary needs.

- If activity has dropped, choose a lower activity setting and reassess after a few weeks of weigh-ins.
- Senior diets can differ in protein and phosphorus; follow your vet if a clinical diet is prescribed.
- Recalculate after dental issues, arthritis limits activity, or medication changes appetite.
- Weigh your Labrador Retriever monthly and adjust portions if body condition drifts from ideal.
- Split daily calories into two measured meals to support steady energy and digestion.
