Daily calories & fat for a 75lb Golden Retriever, plus fish oil?

Question

How many calories should a male, 75 pound, almost 4 year old golden retriever consume per day?Also how much fat should he consume a day? I want to double check that I’m giving him the correct amount of fish oil. Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | neutered | 3 years and 10 months old | 75 lbs

I calculate about 1,400 kCal per day for a moderately active 75 lb dog with an ideal body condition. An overweight dog who is a couch potato would need fewer calories. The appropriate amount of fat varies but is usually between 20-30% of the calories. Unless Rowen requires a very low fat diet I probably wouldn’t worry about the extra fat from the fish oil. The appropriate dose depends on what you’re using it for and the EPA and DHA contents of the particular capsule.
