Calculating the body surface area of a dog is not practical however, and this is the reason why the quantitative evaluation of the metabolizable energy required by each individual dog (expressed as kilocalories of ME per day) is based on another more practical parameter, which however takes account of the body surface area: the metabolic weight (MW).

In this regard, it is worthwhile to remember that small size dogs have a body surface area that is proportionally greater than that of large and giant size dogs: this means that the calorie requirement per kg of body weight is higher in small size breeds than in large and giant breeds.
