I switched Hank to raw today. Currently I am not setup to do this long term cost-effectively but I wanted to try and see if it would clear up his stomach issues. If it does I'm going to invest in a freezer and try to find places to buy bulk.

But how much do you feed your dogs?

The calculators say around 8 ounces/half a pound a day?

Honestly I kind of eyeball it and pay attention to their weight. I know that's not very helpful, but when I went strictly by the calculations you see floating around out there Squash got chubby real fast. It's a good starting point but feed him to a good body weight.

Bailey eats about 12oz per day if she only eats raw. She weighs 40 pounds.

Each dog is so different. Gabby eats about 10oz and weighs 45 pounds.

Ez is 45 pounds and eats 1-1.5 lbs a day, Mimi weighs about 30# and gets 8-10 oz a day. She's my air fern though so I really just gauge it on her waistline.

Em gets 1.5-2.5lbs depending on how active she is. Bloo gets about 1lb/day, usually. If Copper was on raw she'd probably get 12oz-1lb and Shadow would probably get 8-9oz.
