How Much Raw Meat Should You Feed?

The amount of raw food your dog needs depends on their size, activity level, and health goals. Here's a general daily feeding guide:

• Small Dogs (up to 25 lbs): ½ to ¾ lb per day

• Medium Dogs (25–50 lbs): 1 to 1½ lbs per day

• Large Dogs (50–80 lbs): 2 to 2½ lbs per day

💡 Always adjust portions based on energy levels and body condition.

Make It a Complete Meal

While raw meat forms the foundation, you can easily make the meal nutritionally complete:

• Crack a Whole Egg (with shell!) 🥚 – Adds protein and essential calcium

• Use a Raw Topper – Choose one rich in vitamins and minerals for balanced nutrition

FAQs About Raw Feeding 🦴

1. Why is there ground bone in the mix?
Bone provides calcium and phosphorus, essential for teeth, bone, and muscle health.

2. What is tripe, and why include it?
Tripe is the nutrient-rich stomach lining of ruminant animals. It aids digestion, promotes gut health, and introduces beneficial enzymes and bacteria.

3. Should I cook the raw meat?
Nope! Cooking destroys essential nutrients. Raw meat better mimics a dog’s natural, ancestral diet.

4. Is raw meat safe for my dog?
Absolutely. Dogs are built to digest raw meat efficiently. Just be sure to store and handle it properly.

5. Why is raw better than kibble?

• No fillers or by-products

• Improved digestion

• Better dental health

• Glossier coat and reduced allergies

6. Can I just feed raw meat alone?
Not quite—raw meat is a great start, but your dog needs added nutrients:

• Add a whole egg (with shell) for calcium

• Use a raw topper for vitamins and minerals

7. What if I use freeze-dried raw instead of fresh?

• More concentrated: Less needed than fresh due to lack of water content

• Ratio: 1 lb of freeze-dried = ~3–4 lbs fresh

• Topper use: Cut back freeze-dried quantity by half when used with fresh raw

• Complete Meal: Rehydrate fully when feeding as a standalone meal
