Build practical raw feeding plans for dogs easily. Adjust portions by age, condition, and activity. See daily totals, meal splits, and exportable results instantly.
| Profile | Weight | Age | Activity | Goal | Model | Feed % | Daily Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Adult | 10 | 24 | Normal | Maintain | Prey Model | 2.5% | 250 g |
| Medium Active | 20 | 36 | Active | Maintain | Prey Model | 3.0% | 600 g |
| Young Puppy | 8 | 3 | Normal | Gain | BARF Style | 8.5% | 680 g |
| Large Senior | 35 | 120 | Low | Maintain | BARF Style | 1.5% | 525 g |
These entries demonstrate common feeding scenarios. Individual digestion, medical conditions, food density, and ingredient balance can change real-world requirements.
Daily food grams = body weight in kilograms × 1000 × feeding percentage ÷ 100.
Per meal grams = daily food grams ÷ meals per day.
Weekly food grams = daily food grams × 7.
Prey model split = 80% muscle meat, 10% edible bone, 5% liver, 5% other secreting organ.
BARF style split = 70% muscle meat, 10% edible bone, 5% liver, 5% other secreting organ, 10% plant matter.
RER = 70 × weight in kilograms0.75.
MER = RER × activity multiplier.
The automatic feeding percentage starts from life stage, then adjusts for activity, body condition, and goal. You can override it with a custom value when needed.
Raw feeding plans should consider the dog’s age, stool quality, medical history, body condition score, and ingredient rotation. Very young puppies, pregnant dogs, seniors, and dogs with kidney, liver, or digestive disorders often need more precise diet design. Use this calculator to estimate portions, then refine the plan with professional guidance when necessary.
Food energy density also matters. Lean meat, fattier cuts, whole prey items, and mixed BARF recipes do not provide identical calories per gram. Monitor body weight, muscle condition, appetite, and stool response over time. Adjust the feeding percentage gradually instead of making large daily changes. Consistency and balance are usually more helpful than constant switching.
Many adult dogs start around 2% to 3% of body weight daily. Lean, active, or working dogs may need more. Less active or overweight dogs may need less.
Puppies are growing quickly, so they often need a larger percentage of body weight. Their total food usually decreases gradually as growth rate slows.
Prey model focuses on animal parts only. BARF style usually includes a plant matter portion. Both approaches still require balanced organs, bones, and appropriate ingredient variety.
No. It is a planning estimate. Real needs depend on metabolism, breed, temperature, health status, and food energy density. Monitor condition and adjust carefully.
Some adult dogs do well on fewer meals, but many dogs handle two meals better. Puppies usually need more frequent meals for comfort and steady intake.
Adjust the feeding percentage in small steps, then monitor body weight and body condition. Sudden major changes can make it harder to judge what works well.
Yes. Too much bone may firm stools excessively, while too little may weaken mineral balance. Always match bone intake to a structured, balanced plan.
No. It provides structured estimates only. Dogs with allergies, pancreatitis, kidney disease, growth concerns, or other medical issues need individualized nutrition review.
