How much Raw food should I feed my dog?

Raw dog food has become extremely popular due to the large number of benefits that comes along with it. It’s a great food for fussy dogs and is a real easy way of getting your best friend to enjoy mealtimes again.

It’s also a brilliant option for dogs who are sensitive to traditional proteins found in dry kibble such as chicken & beef as there is a far wider range of proteins available and the diet itself is much easier to control.

But a common question asked is how much should I feed my dog? A general rule is that an adult dog should have between 2-3% of their body weight per day. However, this is just a starting guide and should be adjusted accordingly to your dog. And specific circumstances should be considered such as:

  • Age and breed of the dog
  • Activity Levels
  • Dietary plan (do they need to lose/gain weight)

Puppies have different requirements as in the first five months they grow the fastest and should be fed 5-6% of their growing body weight.
