How much should I feed my dog?
How many grams you feed your dog daily will depend on a number of factors that are unique to each individual fur baby.
Some questions you should consider asking yourself when choosing the amount of raw food to give to your dog are as follows:
Your dog's weight
How much they weigh, if they need to shed a few kilos or gain some?
How old is your dog
Are they getting up there in dog years? Are they becoming fussy with their food, eating less or more.
Your dog's activity level
How active is your dog on a daily basis, how often do they go on walks? Is he/she very energetic or lazy.
The type of Breed
Various dogs breed may be prone to sensitive stomachs, having some knowledge of this may be beneficial when working out a daily feeding amount .
General body shape
How does your dog look, are rib bones visible? Are hip bones visible? Or not at all. This one is very important.
Fussy with food
Do you take note of any patterns or preferences in your dog's eating habits.

How to calculate daily feeding amounts?
Consider the following factors listed above when calculating daily feeding amounts. You can add or subtract a 20-50g depending on the specific outcome you'd like to achieve.
For instance; to gain weight you can add 50g on to your calculated daily amount.
A simple rule of thumb to follow to get a good estimate is to simply add 125g of raw food for every 5kgs of your pet's body weight.
For example: A 20kg dog would need 500grams daily. We have a calculator on every product page under the "Details" tab for a more accurate amount.
