===Puppy Energy Requirements===
 +
 +
The equation used for puppy energy requirements is based on current body weight and expected adult weight. 
 +
 +
:::130 x BW (KG)<sup>0.75</sup> x 3.2 x [e<sup>(-0.87p)</sup> - 0.1]
 +
 +
Where:
 +
:::p = W/Wm
 +
::::W = actual body weight
 +
::::Wm = predicted mature adult weight,
 +
:::e = base of natural log ~2.718
 +
:::<font color="red">BW = </font>
 +
 +
However, the columns are in age in months, NOT current weight of the puppy.  This is because the energy requirement data at a given age are calculated from the expected weight at that age – and this varies depending on the anticipated adult weight of the dog.
