Diet Guide for a Very Large Dog (about 50kg)
Amount to Feed:
Feed 1-3% of bodyweight (1% suits most big dogs / 2% if very active / 3% for a working dog).
The sample menu is based on 1% for a 40kg dog (eating approximately 400g/day).
Feed once a day (or twice if it suits you better).
Suitable product from the RAW ESSENTIALS range:
Rabbit Saddles (300g each)
Rabbit Legs (200g each)
Pilchards (100g each in a 500g bag)
Green Tripe (blocks in a 1kg bag)
Whole Rabbit (1kg each)
Raw Essentials Mix (1kg pack)
Duck Frame (800g each)
Turkey Frame (800g each)

Chicken Frames (large ones - 325g each)
All dogs will benefit from organ meats. Our Chicken Frames contain kidneys and hearts. Our minces have organ meat ground into them. We also stock organic chicken livers.
It is very important to get little dogs chewing on raw, meaty bones daily to clean their teeth.
Any of our minced products can be fed at any time.
We suggest that you start with four weeks on one of our minces and a frozen tripe.
Once you are an established raw-feeder the sample menu below provides an example of what you might be feeding.
