The Golden Rule of Raw Portions: How to Use a Raw Food Calculator

Feeding your dog the right amount shouldn't be a guessing game. In this practical episode of The Dog Food Expert Podcast, we tackle the most common question in the raw feeding community: "How much raw food should I feed my dog?"Drawing on over 40 years of UK feeding experience, we explain why "guesstimating" portions often leads to overweight pets. We provide a precise framework for canine nutrition, moving away from the "eyeball method" to scientifically backed guidelines.
