Hi! My Yorkie mix is 2.7 lbs and she eats 2 medallions a day. When I feed Primal, She eats two nuggets a day. She also gets grain free treats throughout the day and once a day I usually give her a spoonful of canned tripe.

My ten pound Cavalier eats 4.5 nuggets/medallions a day, also has plenty of grain free treats (Stella & Chewy's, Orijen kibbles or Ziwi Peak jerky feed). I usually will give an extra half a medallion if they are super active that day or if I didn't give any snacks.

Don't forget to factor in snacks when calculating raw feed - one of the most common causes of upset tummies is overfeeding.

If you are just switching back from Eukanuba, she could require more raw feed because she is lacking in nutrients and enzymes that weren't available in her previous diet. That usually levels off after a month or so and you'll have a better idea of how much she needs.
