RAW FEEDING CALCULATOR
Raw Dog Food Calculator
Work out how much raw food to feed your dog or puppy each day, how that splits at 80/10/10, and how long a box will last. It uses the same maths as our Raw Plan builder.

Feeding a complete raw food? It's already made to 80/10/10, so there's nothing to weigh out. Just feed the daily amount and follow the pack. For puppies, choose a complete food made for growth rather than making up meals yourself. Shop complete raw food
How the calculator works
Adult dogs
We start at 2% of your dog's ideal weight a day, then adjust for activity: 1.75% for low, 2% for average, 2.35% for high and 2.6% for working dogs. Amounts are rounded to the nearest 5g and split into 2 meals.
More on portions and body shape in our guide to how much raw food to feed.
Puppies
| Age | Per day |
|---|---|
| Up to 4 months | 10% of weight today |
| 5 to 6 months | 8% of weight today |
| 7 to 9 months | 6% of weight today |
| 10 to 12 months | 4% of weight today |
| Over 12 months, still growing | 3% of weight today |
Capped at 5% of expected adult weight, with a 60g minimum and 3 meals a day. See our puppy feeding guide for more.
These are starting estimates, not veterinary advice. Every dog is different, so watch their body shape, weigh them regularly and adjust. If your food's pack says something different, follow the pack, and ask your vet about puppies of large or giant breeds and dogs with health conditions.
Common questions
As a starting point, about 2% of an adult dog’s ideal weight a day at average activity, so 400g for a 20kg dog. Less active dogs need a little less, and very active or working dogs more. Weigh them every couple of weeks and adjust to their body shape.
Puppies eat a bigger share of their weight: 10% of their weight today up to 4 months, falling to 3% once they’re over a year and still growing, usually split over three meals. It’s capped at 5% of their expected adult weight so fast growers aren’t overfed.
80% muscle meat, 10% raw bone and 10% offal, with half the offal being liver and half another secreting organ such as kidney or spleen. It describes how a recipe is made up. On its own it doesn’t prove a food is nutritionally complete.
Not if you feed a complete raw food. Our complete ranges are already made to 80/10/10, so you just feed the daily amount. The split is there for owners making up meals themselves.
A 24 × 454g box holds 10.9kg of food. At 400g a day, a typical 20kg adult, it lasts about 27 days. At 200g a day, a 10kg adult, it lasts about 54 days. The adult calculator above works it out for your dog.
