The maths, with your numbers
No guesswork and no brand chart. This is the same calculation a vet does on paper, so you can check it.
What this means for the bowl
Butcher's Tripe Tins sits in the middle of the 21 wet dog foods we track, at 980 kcal per kg.
To show how much the food matters: a 18 kg spayed or neutered dog needs about 979 kcal a day. That is 2 ½ × 400 g tin of this food, but 1 ¾ × 390 g carton of Skinner's Puppy & Junior Chicken & Garden Veg and 13 × 100 g pouch of Pedigree Adult Pouches Mixed Selection in Gravy. Same dog, same day, very different bowls.
Wet food is mostly water. Gram for gram, the average dry dog food in our list has about 3.8 times the calories of this one, which is why the wet portion looks so much bigger.
