My dog is 27 pounds and i am switching to raw foods how do i figure out of much she needs?

She is a pit bull. this will be her first time on raw foods does anyone know of a website to calculate how much to give her?My dog is 27 pounds and i am switching to raw foods how do i figure out of much she needs?
You should feed 2-3% (between .54lbs and .81lbs - depends on her activity level, she will probably add muscle on raw, so judge her weight by her waist), 80% should be meat, 10% UNCOOKED bones, 10% organs (w/ about 5% of that being liver). I started raw last winter and saw a big improvement in my dogs coats and over all health, though lately they're picked up fleas (yay.......).





I would highly reccomend joining the raw feeding group on Yahoo! groups. One is called Raw Chat, the other is just called Raw Feeding. Both have a ton of links and very helpful people!My dog is 27 pounds and i am switching to raw foods how do i figure out of much she needs?
Adult dogs can be fed between 2-3% of the their body weight. It's recommend starting with 1/2 pound of food per 25 lbs of body weight daily and make adjustments according to your dog's age and activity. Also it's suggest that the daily ration be split to feed morning and night. Remember that a healthy dog is not overweight





If you do start feeding raw it's a good idea to start reading as much as you can about it. Raw feeding is not an exact science and there are a lot of opinions out there about it.





My advice is to adjust how much, and what you feed your dog by how your dog responds.





A good website to start research is

Good luck!

Hopefully one of these will help you. My understanding is, 3% of the dog's weight should be fed in raw. But check out the site first, I believe it says on there.
What kind of raw, premade, prey-model, homemade...?

It depends on the size and breed. Contact your dog's veterinarian and see what they think.
Only if you know of the brand. It should say on the bag.
look at the dogs breed and google it.
