A guide for how much to feed your dog

When it comes to raw feeding, getting the portion right is key to a happy, healthy pup.
While every dog is different, a good rule of paw is to feed 2–5% of their body weight in raw food per day. The exact amount depends on how active they are (and whether they’ve been sneakily hoovering up the cat’s dinner).

Quick Guide:
Trying to trim a few kilos? Stick closer to 2% of body weight per day.
Average doggo energy? 3% usually does the trick.
Lean and speedy? Go for 4%.
Working hard or highly active doggo? You’re in 5% territory.

How Often Should I Feed?
We recommend splitting the daily amount into two meals. It’s easier on the tummy, reduces the risk of bloat in bigger breeds, and helps stop those guilt-inducing begging stares between meals. Got a hectic schedule? Once a day is okay too—just make sure your dog’s getting the right daily total.

If you’re unsure… use our raw feeding calculator, just plug in your dog’s details and we’ll do the maths—no calculator or brain strain required.
