Feeding your dog the right amount shouldn't be a guessing game. In this practical episode of The Dog Food Expert Podcast, we tackle the most common question in the raw feeding community: "How much raw food should I feed my dog?"Drawing on over 40 years of UK feeding experience, we explain why "guesstimating" portions often leads to overweight pets. We provide a precise framework for canine nutrition, moving away from the "eyeball method" to scientifically backed guidelines.
In this episode, we cover:
- The Golden Ratio: We explain the maths behind feeding 2-3% of body weight for adult dogs (12-18 months+).
- The Calculator: How to use a raw dog food feeding calculator to determine the exact grammage your dog needs.
- Avoid Overfeeding: Why we are naturally inclined to be too generous and how to stop "killing them with kindness."
- Protein Rich: Ensuring your dog gets the right amount of nutritious, all-natural protein without the bulk.
