How much RAW Food for your dog?
A general rule with raw dog food, in order to sustain a dog's ideal bodyweight, you should be feeding your adult dog between 2-3% of its ideal bodyweight per day. All feeding recommendations are based on a dog's weight.
For example, Bruno is a healthy adult dog that weighs 30kg. This is his ideal weight and the weight that you want him to maintain. In order to sustain this, he will require somewhere between 2-3% of his bodyweight per day. In Bruno's case that is 600-900g of food per day. Most dogs will require the lower end and some the upper end.
We recommend starting at 2-2.5% and monitoring the dog's weight, increasing or decreasing the amount of raw food given as required. If you have a dog that is overweight or underweight then the amount of food given can be adjusted as necessary.
As your dog matures, begin reducing the total daily amount to 2-3% of their ideal bodyweight for their age. Monitor their weight carefully, so that you can adjust portions as necessary.
Remember, every dog's metabolism is different, as are often their nutritional requirements, so feeding should be matched to their individual needs. Ultimately, feeding guides can be helpful but they are just guides!
