10kg Dog
AMOUNT TO FEED
The amount to feed in this sample plan is based on adult maintenance requirements at 2% of their body weight. If your dog is more active or is a growing puppy please contact us as their requirements will differ.
A 10kg dog requires approximately 200g per day, or 1.4kg over a week.
AVERAGE COST
Average costs are dependent on the proteins you choose to feed your dog - this is based on products for a dog with no health issues (and not requiring specific proteins). If your pet has any health concerns, please get in touch with us first as our suggested products may not be suitable.
The average cost for a 10kg dog is $2.5 - $3.5 a day, or, $17.50 - $24.50 per week. As a guide, our 4 week Wildly Good Meal Pack for a 10kg dog, works out to be $3.06 per day or $21.48 per week.

THINGS TO KNOW
- Feed a variety of meat, bone, organs and green tripe.
- Aim to feed bones at least twice a week and always feed green tripe with the bone (the amount of green tripe should be about a third of the bone's size).
- Appropriate bone size is really important - see our Bone Feeding Guide for more information.
- Feeding variety is important. Don't be afraid to mix things up. We recommend feeding at least 3 different prey sources over a weekly period.
- Wild proteins are great to add as they are nutrient dense, sustainable, and their organs are included in most of our minces and bones.
- Only feed a small amount of organs as they are nutrient dense and rich.
- Dogs can have fish up to 3 times a week. Pilchards, salmon and tinned sardines (in spring water) are great options.
