1. What is the Pro Raw Dog Food Calculator?

The Pro Raw Dog Food Calculator helps determine the appropriate amount of raw food to feed your dog based on their weight and activity level. It follows the general guideline of feeding 2-3% of the dog's body weight daily.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the raw feeding formula:

Where:

• Body Weight — Your dog's current weight in pounds or kilograms
• 0.02 to 0.03 — The percentage range based on activity level (2-3%)

Explanation: The calculation provides the amount of raw food in the same unit (lbs or kg) as the body weight entered.

3. Importance of Proper Raw Feeding

Details: Feeding the correct amount of raw food is crucial for maintaining your dog's ideal weight, providing proper nutrition, and preventing digestive issues.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your dog's current weight and select their activity level. For weight loss, use the lower percentage (2%). For active dogs or puppies, use the higher percentage (3%).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Should I use pounds or kilograms?
A: You can use either, as long as you're consistent. The result will be in the same unit you entered for weight.

Q2: Is this amount for one meal or the whole day?
A: This is the total daily amount, which can be divided into 1-2 meals per day.

Q3: Does this include bones and organs?
A: Yes, this is the total amount including muscle meat, bones, and organs in the proportions of a balanced raw diet.

Q4: How often should I adjust the amount?
A: Recalculate whenever your dog's weight changes significantly or their activity level changes.

Q5: What if my dog is overweight or underweight?
A: For overweight dogs, calculate based on their ideal weight, not current weight. For underweight dogs, you may need to feed at the higher end of the range.
