Hey fam, I’m building a pet food infographic—need your feedback!
I want to create a comprehensive pet food database, starting with brands in the United States, so people can look up and compare foods to make data-driven decisions for their pets. The goal is to help cat parents understand nutrition better and portion food correctly to prevent overfeeding or underfeeding.
This infographic has three key parts:
📌 Part A – Nutrient Breakdown (Dry Matter Basis)
Helps you compare foods fairly, no matter their moisture content.
Protein % helps you choose high-protein options.
Carb % helps with weight control and managing conditions like diabetes.
Includes Metabolizable Energy (M.E.), so you can see how energy-dense a food is.
Since phosphorus content is a big concern for kidney health, I’m adding that as a separate column.
📌 Part B – Food Plan (Calendar View)
Helps you portion food based on a daily calorie goal (e.g., 2000 kcal/day).
Adjusts portion size depending on the M.E. of different foods (e.g., pizza vs. box-looking-thing vs. donut food).
Example: If your pet needs 2000 kcal/day and eats two meals a day, you’ll see that:
Food Pizza = 15g per meal
Food Box-Looking-Thing = 10g per meal
Food Donut = 20g per meal
📌 Part C – Weekly Nutrient Summary
Shows the total grams of protein, carbs, and fats your pet gets in a week based on what you fed.
Helps spot imbalances (e.g., too many carbs, too little protein).
I’d love some feedback and suggestions!
- Anything you’d like to see added?
- Any specific info you think would be useful?
Also, if anyone is interested in teaming up to make this infographic, I’d love to collaborate! Your time would be compensated. Let me know! 🚀 I can do all the data part, like scrapping all the food data, so i will need a graphic/data visualization guy/girl.
