The numbers people ask us for most
How many calories does a Medium Aussiedoodle need per day?
A healthy adult Medium Aussiedoodle (around 30–40 lb / 13.5–18 kg) at moderate activity typically lands near 700–950 kcal/day, using RER = 70 × weight(kg)0.75 × a 1.4 moderate-activity multiplier. Active or working dogs run higher; sedentary or weight-loss dogs run lower.
When should I switch an Aussiedoodle puppy to adult food?
Most Mini and Medium Aussiedoodles can transition around 9–12 months; Standards, which keep growing longer, often wait until 12–15 months. Confirm timing with your vet based on growth plates and body condition rather than age alone.
How much water should my Aussiedoodle drink daily?
A reasonable baseline is 50–55 ml per kg of body weight per day — about 675–745 ml for a 13.5 kg dog — increased roughly 15–20% on dry-kibble diets and reduced on predominantly wet diets, since wet food already supplies significant moisture.
What is the WSAVA Body Condition Score scale?
It’s a standardized 1–9 scale vets use to assess body fat by sight and touch: 1–3 is underweight, 4–5 is ideal, and 6–9 is overweight to obese. It’s more reliable than weight alone because it accounts for frame size.
How much should I feed a Standard Aussiedoodle puppy?
Puppies under 4 months need roughly 3× their RER, tapering to about 2× from 4–12 months as growth slows. Split across 3–4 meals/day for digestive comfort, then reduce to 2 meals at adulthood.
How many treats are too many?
A common veterinary guideline caps treats at no more than 10% of total daily calories, with the remaining 90% coming from a complete-and-balanced main diet — important because treats are rarely nutritionally complete on their own.
Mini vs. Medium vs. Standard, side by side
| Size | Adult weight | kcal at 6 months | kcal, adult (moderate) | Water / day | Meals / day (adult) | Treat ceiling | Typical adult-food switch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 15–25 lb | 420–560 kcal | 420–600 kcal | 350–500 ml | 2 | 42–60 kcal | 9–12 months |
| Medium | 25–45 lb | 650–880 kcal | 700–950 kcal | 575–900 ml | 2 | 70–95 kcal | 9–12 months |
| Standard | 45–70+ lb | 950–1300 kcal | 1050–1450 kcal | 900–1450 ml | 2 | 105–145 kcal | 12–15 months |
Ranges reflect typical activity and BCS variation within each size class. Use the planner above for a figure specific to your dog.
How this calculator works
Every formula below is exactly what runs when you press “Calculate.” Nothing is hidden behind a black box.
RER = 70 × weight(kg)^0.75
Sedentary ×1.2 · Moderate ×1.4 · Active ×1.6 · Very active ×1.8 · Puppy <4mo ×3.0 · Puppy 4–12mo ×2.0 · Neutered adult ×0.9
BCS 1–2 +30% · BCS 3 +15% · BCS 4–5 baseline · BCS 6–7 −18% · BCS 8–9 −30% (flagged for vet consult)
Walk ≈1.2 kcal/kg/30min · Active play ≈1.8 · Swimming ≈2.2 — added to today only
50–55 ml/kg/day, +20% dry food, −30% wet-food-dominant, +10–15% per heat/exercise factor
Logistic model: weight(t) = L / (1 + e^(−k(t−t0))), parameterized per size category
