Frequently asked questions

How many grams of Drools Adult (Chicken & Egg) does an adult German Shepherd need per day?+

A adult German Shepherd at 32 kg with high activity needs approximately — g of Drools Adult (Chicken & Egg) per day, split across 3 meals. Your pet's exact number depends on weight, age, activity, and body condition — use the calculator above.

How is the daily portion calculated?+

We use the AAFCO/NRC-approved Resting Energy Requirement (RER) formula: RER = 70 × (body weight in kg)^0.75. That's then multiplied by a life-stage multiplier (1.6 for adult dogs, 1.4 for adult cats) and an activity multiplier (0.9-1.4). Finally we divide by the kibble's kcal per gram to get the exact daily grams.

Is Drools Adult (Chicken & Egg) enough as a complete diet for my German Shepherd?+

Drools Adult (Chicken & Egg) is formulated to be a complete-and-balanced diet on its own. However, many Indian vets recommend a 50 : 50 mix of kibble and home-cooked food for better hydration, coat quality, and variety. Turn on "Mix Mode" in the calculator to see how much kibble plus how much homemade food to feed each day.

How often should I feed my German Shepherd?+

Adult dogs do best on 2 meals per day. Puppies under 12 months need 3 meals. Senior pets (7+ for dogs, 10+ for cats) also benefit from 2 smaller meals to reduce digestive load.

What if my German Shepherd is overweight or underweight?+

Set the "Body condition" selector accordingly — the calculator automatically applies a 25 % calorie deficit for obese pets and a 15 % surplus for underweight pets. Reassess weight every 2 weeks and reduce/increase from there.

Should I switch kibble brands often?+

No — sudden brand changes cause GI upset. If you must switch, do it over 7-10 days: 25 % new + 75 % old for 3 days, then 50/50 for 3 days, then 75/25, then 100 %. Sensitive stomachs need a slower 14-day transition.

Where can I get a fully-personalised meal plan?+

Our ₹499 4-week meal plan builds a completely customised home-cooking + kibble mix schedule for your German Shepherd based on weight, age, allergies, and diet needs. Vet-approved, AAFCO-aligned, India-available ingredients only.
