- Puppies? Most raw prey model feeders feed 2 - 3% of the projected adult body weight. So a little GSD puppy, who may grow to be 80 lbs, will still be fed about 2% of the 80 lbs as a puppy. Just spaced out over a few feedings since puppies do better with more frequent feedings. Once they hit about 6 months, you can back off to twice a day, and once a year old, you can do once a day, or even the gorge/fast if that's what you prefer.

I found this quote online. Harley is 18 weeks and weighs roughly 4 lbs. I weighed myself with and without him so that is why I say roughly. So, how do I know his projected adult weight so I know what 2-3% would be? Also any ideas on the pork? Thank you!
