How Much Raw Dog Food Do I Feed?
Please refer to our raw dog food calculator for further daily/monthly feeding guidelines for your dog. Remember, no two dogs are identical in activity level or metabolic rate. Therefore, it is imperative to weigh your dog to suit its ideal intake regularly. I also see raw diet feeding adjustments in the summer when days are long, and their activity levels drop in winter. Furthermore, dogs with higher/lower activity levels may need a larger/smaller amount per serving.
Puppies (Less than one year of age)
Approximate feeding guidelines. Up to 10% of their body weight is evenly divided between 3 – 4 feedings per day.
Low to Normal Activity, Pet Dogs (1 year of age and older)
2-3% of their body weight, evenly divided between 2 meals per day.
Calypso
Endurance, High Activity, Performance, Sport, and Working Dogs
6-10% of their body weight, evenly divided between 2 meals per day.
