+Core Dog Nutrition Standards (All Breeds)
+A. Calorie Calculation
+Formula:
+RER (kcal/day) = 70 × (weight in kg)^0.75
+MER multipliers:
+Neutered adult: 1.4–1.6 × RER
+Intact adult: 1.6–1.8 × RER
+Puppy (growth): 2.0–3.0 × RER
+Working/active: 2.0–5.0 × RER
+Weight loss: 1.0 × RER or diet-specific plan
+
+Macronutrients (AAFCO minimums):
+Puppies/Growth: Protein ≥ 22.5%, Fat ≥ 8.5%
+Adult Maintenance: Protein ≥ 18%, Fat ≥ 5.5%
+Fiber: usually 2–5% (can be higher in weight control diets)
+Carbohydrates: not required but typically 30–60% in kibble (dry matter basis)
+
+Micronutrients
+Calcium:Phosphorus ratio ~ 1.2:1 (range 1:1–2:1), Omega-3 (EPA/DHA), Omega-6 fatty acids, Vitamins A, D, E, B-complex, choline, trace minerals
+Treat Rule: Treats ≤ 10% of daily calorie intake
+
+Life Stage Overlays:
+Puppy: Higher protein/fat, DHA for brain development, 3–4 meals/day, 
+Adult: Balanced maintenance, calorie control, 
+Senior: Lower calorie density, higher digestibility, joint support, antioxidants
+Gestation/Lactation: +20–60% calories, higher protein/fat, calcium
