1. No Veterinary Relationship
Using dogamiya.com does not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. No content on this site should be construed as veterinary medical advice. Dogamiya is an informational resource, not a medical service.
2. Calculator Disclaimer
Our dog calorie calculator and all other tools provide estimates based on standard veterinary formulas (including the Resting Energy Requirement formula: 70 Ã kg^0.75 as established by AAFCO and NRC guidelines). However, you must understand that:
- Individual dogs may have significantly different calorie needs due to health conditions, medications, breed-specific metabolism, or hormonal factors
- Calculator outputs are starting-point estimates only â not prescriptions
- Weight, body condition score, and lifestyle factor inputs are user-entered and not verified by veterinary professionals
- For dogs with a BCS of 7/9 or higher (overweight/obese), a supervised weight-loss program under veterinary guidance is strongly recommended
- For dogs with known health conditions (diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, cancer, etc.), calorie and diet management must be supervised by a veterinarian or board-certified veterinary nutritionist
3. Content Accuracy
We make every effort to ensure that information on Dogamiya is accurate, complete, and up to date. However, veterinary science evolves continuously and recommendations may change. We review and update content regularly, but cannot guarantee that all information reflects the most current research at any given time.
4. Emergency Situations
If your dog is experiencing a medical emergency, do not rely on this website. Contact your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately or call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (888-426-4435) if you suspect poisoning.
5. Breed & Individual Variation
Calorie needs, nutrient requirements, and health risks vary significantly by breed, individual dog, age, reproductive status, environment, and medical history. Generic guides and calculators â including ours â cannot account for every variable. Always consider your specific dog's circumstances.
6. Supplement Disclaimer
Information about supplements (fish oil, glucosamine, CBD, etc.) is provided for educational purposes only. Supplements can interact with medications and may not be appropriate for all dogs. Always consult your veterinarian before starting any supplement regimen.
7. Raw Diet Disclaimer
Information about raw feeding is provided as education only. Raw diets carry risks including bacterial contamination (Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli) and nutritional imbalances. Always consult a veterinary nutritionist before starting a raw diet program.
