    How to figure how many calories in a can of dog food?

    Is there a way to figure how many calories in a can of dog food if it doesn`t say it on the can?

    Example - Evanger`s Super Premium Duck & Sweet Potato Dinner.

    It doesn`t say on the can or on their web site or anywhere else that I have looked.

      No; you'll need to ask Evanger's.

     I already emailed them and got no reply

    Personally, I wouldn't feed it then.  My policy is if a customer service department won't respond to simple inquiries--especially about very basic info that should already be on the package/can or on their website--then I'm not giving them my business.

    Have you tried calling them?

    most canned foods are in the 350 to 400 kcal/can range

     EVO canned meats all have more calories than that, and so does California Natural canned Lamb and Rice. I'm sure other brands have more calories too.

      Molly, how long has it been since you e-mailed them; it can take several days to get an answer.

    Its been awhile ( about a month ) so I will try to e-mail them again and see if I get anything back from them. If not I guess I`ll try calling them. If they won`t tell me one way or a other I guess I`ll just stop feeding my dogs their food.

      The longest I've had to wait is about 5 days; a month is much too long. Good luck; I hope they answer you quickly this time.
