Ok, I am very bad with ounces and lbs, but let me tell you how much I feed my Mocha.
Mocha is 2 kg or 4.4 lbs. That means I feed her about 60-80 grams a day. 3-4% of her adult body weight EVERY day. Not every meal, that much, every day. When I started out I fed her almost 120 grams per day. She was going at it like she's never tasted food before. But these percentages are very much just guidelines. You feed according to the dog, if she gets chubby/roly you feed less, if she gets too thin on the ribs you feed more. We'll get to the "how to tell if she's chubby or thin" later on, for now what's important is for you to get started, and for her to get used to eating raw.
By my calculation you should be feeding 80-100 grams a day. I don't know how much that is in ounces.
If you have to board her then do so, but if you are on the raw track, you might want to look for a rawfeeding tolerant vet for next time. Or look for a better option that will not mind to feed raw - you will be surprised at your options in america. I urge you to join the rawfeeding list, boardings and traveling options gets discussed all the time.
Please do not worry about RAW chicken bones - they are the softest bones out there, and our dogs are fully equipped to eat consume and digest bones, it's what they are supposed to eat anyways! I feed pork ribs too sometimes, they LOVE it. They will rip all the meat off and gnaw on the bone for quite some time - until mean mommy takes it away from them
Beware that we don't feed beef bones of any kinds - to dogs of any size. It's too hard for them, might crack their canines. The logic is we don't feed anything they can't catch in the wild. Btw, just to let you know, my dogs never had any problems eating bones whatsoever.
Okay! Any other questions? Please join this group as soon as you can, they're very helpful!
