General Raw Feeding Guide for Dogs

Complete raw feeding should be considered in conjunction with personalised advice from your dog's usual veterinarian. 

• Adult dogs:
  Feed approximately 2–3% of your dog’s body weight per day
• Active / working dogs:
  May need 3–5% of body weight
• Puppies:
  Feed approximately 5–8% of body weight per day, split into 2–3 meals

Example Daily Amounts

• 5kg dog → 100–150g per day
• 10kg dog → 200–300g per day
• 20kg dog → 400–600g per day
• 30kg dog → 600–900g per day

How to Feed

• Split into 1–2 meals daily (adults)
• Adjust amounts based on:
• Body condition (weight gain/loss)
• Activity level
• Age and metabolism

What to Feed

• A variety of protein sources: 3-4 per week
• Green tripe 2-3 times per week
• Meaty bones appropriately sized for your dog breed
• Organ meats

Important Notes

• These are starting guidelines only – every dog is different and you should consult your veterinarian for a personalised feeding regine
• Monitor your dog’s body condition, not just weight
• Always provide fresh water
• TMake food transitions gradually over 5–7 days

These guidelines align with general recommendations used by NZ vets and raw feeding communities, alongside internationally recognised standards like AAFCO/FEDIAF
