Guidelines for Feeding Raw Dog Food
When determining how much raw dog food to provide, consider your dog’s age, weight, and activity level. Overweight or sedentary dogs should receive smaller portions, while active dogs may require slightly more than suggested. Ultimately, you know your dog best, so trust your judgment and remember that this is premium nutrition for them!
It's common for pet owners to overestimate their dog's food needs. Instead of filling the bowl generously, start with a smaller portion and adjust as necessary. It's essential to prevent healthy dogs from gaining excess weight, so if your dog has a bit of a belly, consider reducing their daily intake.

Guidelines for Feeding Raw Cat Food
Feeding recommendations for cats, regardless of age or breed, also depend on their age, weight, and activity level. Overweight or inactive cats may require smaller portions, while active or younger cats often need more than the suggested amounts. Senior cats may also need slightly more food than you might expect.
Ultimately, you are the best judge of your cat's needs, so use your discretion and remember that this is also premium nutrition for cats! Many cats thrive on raw diets and usually don’t gain excess weight, even if their food intake seems substantial. Cats often prefer smaller, more frequent meals, and while they drink less water, ensure they always have access to fresh water.
