I have 2 of mine on premade raw (smallbatch) & Turbo is 6#'s, he gets 2 1/2 & Mimi is 7#'s, she gets 3 medallions/sliders/nuggets per day. They do seem hungry all the time too loll so I give them a little bit of The Honest Kitchen Embark as a late night snack b4 bedtime.
According to Primal feeding calculator, he should be getting 4-4.5 nuggets a day. Maybe bc he's a puppy? They need more calories. General rule is to feed 2-3% of their body weight. 2% if they need to lose weight & 3 if they're ideal weight. There's quite a few that feed premade raw here w/more experience, so hope they chime in.
Glad to hear his liver shunt surgery went well! Just curious, was this diet recommended by the vet? I thought a liver compromised dog shouldn't be eating high protein foods...I must be wrong! |
