Use this calculator as a starting bowl volume, not a medical target. Wet food, heat, lactation, and kidney disease change intake a lot.
The calculation is about 50 mL per kilogram per day for dogs and 44 mL per kilogram per day for cats on kibble. You can enter weight in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lb); daily water is shown in millilitres (mL) or fluid ounces (fl oz).
Species: Dog or cat; the millilitres per kilogram differ.
Weight: Body weight, in kg or lb.
Water per day: Estimated daily water volume.
