Raw Diet Calculator — How Much Raw Food a Day

Balance matters more than amount

The 2–3% rule gives a daily weight, but a complete raw diet must balance muscle meat, bone, organ and supplements. Talk to your vet before switching.

How the estimate works

Adult dogs on a raw diet are commonly fed about 2–3% of body weight per day. Puppies in growth need more — roughly 4–10%, tapering as they mature. We use 2.5% for adults and 6% for puppies as midpoints.
