This feeding calculator is based on a percentage of body weight method and is commonly used as a guideline in the raw feeding community. However, it is a guideline only and not a rule. Every dog is different and their food intake should be adjusted to maintain a lean, healthy body condition.

If your dog is underweight, increase their calories. If they’re overweight, reduce their calories.
Similarly, active or working breed dogs may need to be fed a higher percentage.
Always prioritise your dog’s health over any feeding guideline or chart. 

You can start off with feeding a guideline for around a week and then reassess whether you feel your dog needs more or less food going forward.

Puppies
This feeding calculator is currently only suitable for adult dogs. A feeding guideline for puppies can be found here:

The daily intake percentages for puppies is: 2-4mths: 10%, 4-5mths: 8%, 6-8mths: 6%, 8-12mths: 4%. Your puppy may need more or less than the guidelines. It is recommended to assess them weekly and feed them more or less depending on their body condition.

Pregnancy & Whelping
If you plan to feed your breeding bitch a fresh food diet, we recommend consulting a veterinarian experienced in fresh feeding and canine reproduction.
