Most commercially manufactured pet foods provide '''feeding guides on the packaging'''. This is a '''mandatory requirement''' for those that are complete and balanced. The key principles and steps used to calculate food allowances are described in the [[Feeding Guides - Nutrition#How Feeding Guides Are Calculated|next section]]. Understanding how these principles are applied is important, as they determine how much food and energy a pet is advised to eat.
