It would but it's not possible really as every dog is an individual!

A good rough guide to start with is to feed 2-3% of the dogs ideal body weight. For a pup this will be based on it's ideal adult weight. At least to start with you should keep a close eye on the dogs weight and make sure they aren't losing or gaining too much weight.

A lamb chop or chicken wing is a good example of a good balance of muscle meat and bone.

Organ meat should be fed in much smaller portions.

I don't feed rice at all. Veg 2-3 times a week in variable portions.

Once you are feeding a raw diet you will be able to see from their stools what adjustments need to be made!

I don't give any supplements. If you feed a good raw diet you shouldn't need to use supplements!
