Raw foods are very nutrient dense and highly bioavailable. Because of the increased digestibility of a raw food diet, you are able to feed your pet a little less food daily in comparison to the feeding quantities of a processed-kibble. Our recommendations offer you a starting point on the amounts to feed your pet based on the 2-3% rule. Feed 2-3% of your pets body weight daily. Keep in mind that this is a rough idea only and will vary depending on your pets age, health, metabolism, and activity levels. You are the best judge of your pets dietary needs and should adjust the feeding quantities accordingly.
Puppies to 1 year
It's also important to mention that puppies almost always require more food than the stated guidelines. A good rule of thumb for a puppy is 4 to 6% of their body weight. They are busy exploring their world, forming healthy bones and muscle. Their calorie needs are greater. It is important to keep an eye on your growing pup. Increase or decrease his amounts of food as necessary according to their growth. Don't let him become a "roly poly" pup. A lean puppy is a healthy puppy with a healthy future.
