Resting energy at that weight is about 496 kcal per day. The Merck neutered-adult factor of 1.6 puts maintenance near 794 kcal before activity is added. The dog food calculator on this page uses that same resting-energy formula, then applies the activity and size adjustments from the main dog food calculator.

Reading the portions

American Eskimo Dog is published in more than one variety (toy, miniature, standard). Use the row that matches the variety you have, not a blend of the two.

Portions are a starting estimate. American Eskimo Dog individuals can vary by body condition, neuter status, and how much they work. Adjust the bowl from what you see on the ribs, not from the table alone.
