The Ultimate Raw Dog Food Calculator
Switching to a raw dog food diet or preparing homemade dog food is one of the best decisions you can make for your pet’s health. However, the biggest challenge is getting the ratios right. Our advanced raw feeding calculator takes the guesswork out of meal prep by providing precise measurements for both PMR (Prey Model Raw) and BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diets.
BARF vs. PMR: Which is Right for Your Dog?
Understanding the difference between raw feeding models is essential for a balanced diet:
- BARF Model: This model typically follows a ratio of 70% muscle meat, 10% raw edible bone, 5% liver, 5% other secreting organs, and 10% vegetables/fruit. It’s designed to provide a wide range of nutrients from both animal and plant sources.
- PMR Model (Prey Model Raw): This model aims to mimic the composition of a whole prey animal, usually following the 80/10/5/5 rule: 80% muscle meat, 10% bone, 5% liver, and 5% other secreting organs. No plant matter is included in this model.
How Much Raw Food Should I Feed My Dog?
Most adult dogs thrive on a daily portion that is 2% to 3% of their ideal body weight. Highly active dogs or working breeds may require up to 4%, while puppies need significantly more (up to 10% of their current weight) to support rapid growth. Our homemade dog food calculator adjusts these percentages automatically based on your dog’s life stage and activity level.
Benefits of a Homemade Dog Food Diet
By using a homemade dog food calculator, you gain full control over the ingredients. This is particularly beneficial for dogs with severe allergies, sensitive stomachs, or specific health conditions that require restricted diets. Preparing fresh, whole-food meals ensures your dog receives high-quality protein and bioavailable nutrients without the fillers found in commercial kibble.
