How many calories does a Cane Corso need per day?

A typical neutered adult Cane Corso at moderate activity needs roughly 1,650–2,200 kcal/day depending on weight (40–50 kg range) and activity level. Use a calorie calculator with your dog's exact weight and activity for a more precise figure.

Does a Cane Corso need more calories than average because of its size?

Yes, in absolute terms — but not proportionally as much as many owners expect. Calorie needs scale sub-linearly with weight (to the 0.75 power), so a 50 kg Corso does not need twice the calories of a 25 kg dog. Overfeeding based on size is a common source of weight gain in large breeds.

Should I reduce calories for a spayed or neutered Cane Corso?

Generally yes. Spayed and neutered dogs typically need 15–25% fewer calories than intact dogs of the same size and activity level. Many owners find their Corso's weight creeps up after the procedure if portions aren't adjusted.
