It really does vary from dog to dog but it seems like most raw feeders start at 2.5-3% of the dog's weight. I started at 2% for Kai and Kae because I feel Kae needs to stay at a lower weight for his troubled joints, and because I want Kai slightly thinner than "ideal" to make agility easier on his body. I adjusted it based on how the dogs looked after a while. Kai's getting only 1.6%-2% of his weight daily, and Kaedyn's getting about 2%. Both are slowly losing weight but still happy, healthy dogs, so we're sticking at that amount for the time being.

Dog owners should always be aware of pancreatitis. It can happen with dogs being fed kibble, homecooked diets or raw. I'm very careful about keeping my dogs away from fatty foods.. whether a part of their raw meal, or not.
