There are varying opinions on how much raw food you should be feeding your doggo and/or house lion (cat). One thing is for sure, it can vary quite a bit with the metabolism and activity level of your pet. Daily feeding guidelines will also vary by manufacturer.
The best thing thing you can do as a pet-parent is to simply monitor your pets weight for the first 4-6 weeks on the the new diet.
Once or twice per week, you should examine them physically; checking their ribs, their hips, etc to identify if they've been gaining or losing weight and adjusting your feeding practices accordingly.
With that said, it always helps to have a guideline when you're starting out. As such, we've put together a general overview of what experts recommend starting out with!
As a general rule of thumb, you should consider feeding your dog approximately 2-3% of their body weight daily and split this between two meals.
And, again, it very much depends on their activity level. Here's a quick guide for determining which % range you should be feeding them:
| Dog's Weight | 5kg | 10kg | 15kg | 20kg | 25kg | 30kg | 35kg | 40kg |
| 2% | 100g | 200g | 300g | 400g | 500g | 600g | 700g | 800g |
| 3% | 150g | 300g | 450g | 600g | 750g | 900kg | 1.05KG | 1.2KG |
Puppies are a bit different. Instead of judging by weight, use their age in terms of week to help you decide what quantity of raw food you should be feeding them!
| Puppy's Age (weeks) | 7-10 | 10-16 | 16-20 | 20-24 | 24-36 | 36-56 | 56-68 | 68+ |
| % of weight | 10% | 8% | 7% | 6% | 5% | 4% | 3% | 2-3% |
Again, this will depend of level of exercise and your pup's metabolism. Be sure to examine them physically twice per week and adjust accordingly!
Even simpler - feed at least 5% of body weight daily. This can be split into at least 2 and preferably 3 meals per day!
Again, your feeding practices should adhere to your pet's activity level (which also depends on their age). Remember to monitor them closely during the first six weeks, and, when in doubt, consult your veterinarian!
