Description

Determine the right daily raw food portions for your dog to balance nutrition and support overall health.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 70-80% muscle meat (e.g., chicken, beef, turkey)
  • 10-15% organ meat (e.g., liver, kidney)
  • 10-15% raw bones (e.g., ground chicken necks)
  • 5-10% vegetables (e.g., spinach, carrots, broccoli)
  • 5% fruits (e.g., apples, blueberries)
  • 12 eggs per week
  • Supplements (e.g., fish oil, calcium)

Instructions

  1. Consult your vet to confirm your dog’s weight and dietary needs.
  2. Calculate daily portion size: 2-3% of your dog’s body weight for adults, 5-8% for puppies.
  3. Select protein sources and adjust ratios based on your dog’s activity level and health.
  4. Chop or grind meats, organs, and bones to manageable sizes.
  5. Mix vegetables and fruits into the protein blend.
  6. Add eggs or supplements as needed.
  7. Store portions in airtight containers; thaw before serving.

Notes

  • Avoid cooked bones—they splinter and pose risks.
  • Introduce new proteins gradually to check for allergies.
  • Monitor your dog’s weight and adjust portions if needed.
  • Keep raw food refrigerated and handle with clean utensils.
