HOW DO WE CALCULATE YOUR CAT'S PORTION?

Your cat's unique portion size

Updated this week

Every Marro portion is carefully calculated to suit your cat’s unique lifestyle and needs; We tailor every pouch based on your cat’s health, activity, and nutritional requirements.


FACTORS WE CONSIDER

We use several key details to calculate the perfect portion for your cat:

  • Age: Kittens need more calories and nutrients to support growth and playful energy.

  • Body shape: Recommendations adjust for underweight, overweight, or ideal body condition.

  • Activity level: Ensures your cat has enough energy, whether roaming the garden or lounging in a sun patch.

  • Neutering: Neutered cats require roughly 25% fewer calories to maintain a healthy weight.


EXPERT-APPROVED GUIDELINES

  • Our feeding guidelines are developed by our lead veterinary nutritionist, a professor in feline nutrition and chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of FEDIAF.

  • Portion recommendations are translated into Marro pouch sizes that match your cat’s daily calorie needs.

  • If the portion exceeds 110% of their daily calories, we select a slightly smaller pouch to avoid overfeeding.


SMALLER PORTIONS, MORE NUTRIENTS

  • Marro portions may appear smaller than other brands, but our meals are highly digestible, allowing your cat to absorb more energy and nutrients from every bite.

  • Your cat still gets complete nutrition, supporting health, energy, and wellbeing.


ADJUSTING YOUR PORTION

  • You know your cat best. If you feel their portion needs to change, you can adjust it anytime in your account or contact our Customer Love Team.

  • We’ll help tweak your plan to ensure your cat gets just the right amount of Fresh, balanced nutrition.
