README

A native Laravel package to calculate Resting Energy Requirements (RER), Maintenance Energy Requirements (MER), and daily recommended water intake for dogs and cats based on the official WSAVA (World Small Animal Veterinary Association) guidelines.

• MER Calculation: Adjusts caloric needs dynamically using custom multiplier factors based on life stages and conditions.
• Water Intake Recommendation: Computes baseline daily fluid volume requirements.
• Extensible Configuration: Publish and alter multiplier parameters anytime.
• Strictly Typed: Leverages PHP 8.2+ Enums and modern architectural principles.
