Puppy Raw Feeding Guide

Percentages to Feed Based on Age:
  • 7-8 weeks: 7-10%
  • 9-16 weeks 7-8%
  • 17-21 weeks 6-7%
  • 22-30 weeks 5-6%
  • 31-40 weeks 4-5%
  • 41-50 weeks 3-4%
  • 50+ 2-3%
You can also feed 3-5% of their estimated adult weight
Prey Model Raw diet for a puppy is 60-80% muscle meat 10-20% bone and 10% organ meats (5% liver and 5% other secreting organs)
Suggested proteins:
Chicken, duck, beef, pork, quail, lamb, goat, rabbit, bison, guinea pig, alpaca, venison, goose, wild game birds, oily fish, tripe, etc.
Ideal edible bones:
Chicken, duck, quail, rabbit, guinea pig, lamb, venison, fish.
Organ meats:
Must feed liver
Other organs: kidney, thymus (sweetbreads), uterus, testicles, brain, eyeballs, pancreas and spleen
Introduce a puppy cold turkey to raw. I suggest starting them on a variety as growing puppies require more nutrients than adult dogs. Puppies will need their organ meats, bone and muscle meats. Every protein offers different nutrients that a growing puppy needs. Please feed three times daily until 6-10 months of age, depending on the dog.
You can also feed pasture organic eggs up to three times a week. Please base this on the size of the animal. Not every dog should have 3 eggs, some should have 1 a week. You can also blend eggs with their shells and give a little with meals.
