How Much Do I Feed My Pet?

Affordable Raw Dog Food - How Much do I feed?

It is generally suggested that an adult dog or cat should be fed 2% – 3% of their body weight, of raw food, per day. You should have a reasonably accurate idea of your pets weight when starting on a raw food diet. Puppies and kittens have a slightly higher percentage of body weight (between 4% – 6%) when starting a raw food diet.

With that in mind, there are some variables you should consider:

Feed 2% – 2.5% of a an adult dog or cat’s weight if their weight is ideal/normal for their breed.
Feed 1.5% of a dog or cat’s weight if they need to lose weight.
Feed 3% of a dog or cat’s weight for if they need to gain weight.
For Puppies and Kittens, we suggest feeding 4% to 6% of their body weight as a starting point.

To help you with the math we have created series of charts and a Downloadable Excel File you can use to determine how much your dog or cat should be eating
