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 on Pet Food#How Feeding Guides Are Calculated|below]]. Understanding how these principles are applied is important, as they determine how much food and energy a pet is advised to eat.

There is '''no international standard defining how feeding guides are calculated''', and manufacturers may take different approaches, using different assumptions on how they do this. Different products may recommend feeding different amounts of energy for the same animal, and can result in either an over- or under-estimate of their ‘actual’ energy needs.
