Frequently asked questions
How many grams of Pedigree Adult (Chicken & Veg) does an adult Labrador Retriever need per day?+
A adult Labrador Retriever at 28 kg with moderate activity needs approximately 390 g of Pedigree Adult (Chicken & Veg) per day, split across 2 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 Pedigree Adult (Chicken & Veg) enough as a complete diet for my Labrador Retriever?+
Pedigree Adult (Chicken & Veg) 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 Labrador Retriever?+
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 Labrador Retriever 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 Labrador Retriever based on weight, age, allergies, and diet needs. Vet-approved, AAFCO-aligned, India-available ingredients only.
