Pet Tools & Calculators

Free size guides, calculators and checklists to help you choose and care with confidence.

Quick, practical tools built from the same research as our guides. They give general guidance to help you shop and plan — not veterinary advice.

Dog crate size calculator

Dog Crate Size Calculator

Measure your dog standing: length from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail, and height from the floor to the top of the head (or ear tips if they stand up).

This tool gives general guidance to help you shop; it is not veterinary advice. Always check the manufacturer’s own sizing chart before buying.

Dog bed size guide

Dog Bed Size Guide

Measure your dog lying down in their usual position, nose to base of tail, and tell us how they like to sleep.

This tool gives general guidance to help you shop; it is not veterinary advice. Always check the manufacturer’s own sizing chart before buying.

Dog harness size guide

Dog Harness Size Guide

Harnesses are sized by chest girth, not weight. Use a soft tape measure around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.

This tool gives general guidance to help you shop; it is not veterinary advice. Always check the manufacturer’s own sizing chart before buying.

Pet age calculator

Pet Age Calculator

An estimate of your pet’s age in “human years”, using the common approach vets use for rough comparison. It is a fun guide, not a health assessment.

Breed, genetics and lifestyle affect ageing. For anything health-related, talk to your vet.

Pet food cost calculator

Pet Food Cost Calculator

Compare foods fairly by working out what they really cost per day. Enter the price you are seeing for a bag and the daily amount from the feeding guide.

Prices change often — this tool only uses the figures you type in. Feeding amounts should follow the food’s own guide and your vet’s advice.

Puppy feeding guide

Puppy Feeding Guide

How many meals a day a puppy usually needs at each stage. Amounts vary a lot by food, so always use the feeding chart on the pack for grams.

General guidance only. Your vet or breeder knows your puppy; follow their advice and the food manufacturer’s chart for quantities.

Cat litter calculator

Cat Litter Calculator

Work out how many trays you need and roughly how much litter to keep in stock.

This tool gives general guidance to help you shop; it is not veterinary advice. Always check the manufacturer’s own sizing chart before buying.
