Daily raw food = 2-3% of ideal body weight
Raw diets typically feed 2-3% of the dog's ideal body weight daily. The general ratio: 80% muscle meat, 10% raw meaty bones, 5% liver, 5% other organ meat. Adjust the percentage: 2% for less active/overweight dogs, 2.5% for average adults, 3% for active dogs, 5-10% for growing puppies. Monitor body condition and adjust accordingly. Raw feeding requires: sourcing quality meats, balancing nutrients over time, and handling raw meat safely (sanitize surfaces, wash hands). Add omega-3 fish oil and vitamin E. Consult a veterinary nutritionist for a balanced recipe, especially for puppies and dogs with health conditions.
