The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for matching pets,
particularly dogs and cats, with an appropriate product by a pet owner. A
breed code is assigned to each breed of pet based on predetermined
criteria. Pet products and supplies are classified based on the
suitability of the product for pets of various breed codes. The breed
codes assigned to each breed and breed codes assigned to each product are
published and made available to the consumer so that a pet owner may make
an informed decision in purchasing a product for a pet. An average energy
requirement is calculated for each breed code to match a dog with
consumables. Standard units are calculated for the average energy
requirement and the caloric content of consumables.
