Unsure How Much to Feed Your Dog?

Take the Guesswork Out of Mealtime with Our Dog Feeding Guide Calculator

Every dog is different — and so are their feeding needs. Whether you’ve just brought home a puppy or you’re fine-tuning your adult dog’s diet, figuring out how much to feed can be confusing. Should you feed by weight? By activity? By age?

At All Raw Dog Food, we believe feeding your pet shouldn’t be complicated. That’s why we created this Dog Feeding Guide Calculator — a practical, easy-to-use tool that helps you determine the perfect portion size for your dog, based on real nutritional guidelines and raw feeding expertise.

If you’ve ever wondered “am I feeding too much or too little?” — this page is for you.

Why You Need a Dog Feeding Guide Calculator

Feeding your dog the right amount is one of the most important things you can do for their health. Too much food can lead to weight gain, joint issues, and fatigue. Too little can result in nutrient deficiencies, low energy, or loss of muscle.

But here’s the challenge: no two dogs are the same.

Breed, size, age, activity level, and even metabolism all play a role in determining how much food your dog truly needs. That’s why simple serving charts often fall short — they don’t take your dog’s unique needs into account.

Our Feeding Guide Calculator bridges that gap. It uses proven feeding ratios and real-world data to help you confidently feed your dog the right amount every day.

How the Calculator Works

We designed our calculator to be simple, science-based, and accessible for every dog owner — whether you’re feeding raw, fresh, or transitioning from kibble.

1. Enter Your Dog’s Details

Provide your dog’s weight, age, and activity level.
Our calculator adjusts for life stage (puppy, adult, senior) and energy needs (active, moderate, low).

2. Calculate Ideal Daily Portion

We apply the standard 2%–3% of body weight per day guideline for most adult dogs and adjust based on growth, breed, and energy output.

For example:

  • Active or Working Dogs: 3%–4% of body weight
  • Average Adult Dogs: 2%–2.5% of body weight
  • Weight-Loss Plans: 1.5%–2% of body weight

3. Review Your Recommended Feeding Plan

You’ll receive a simple breakdown showing how much food to feed per day, per meal, and per week — making it easier to plan, shop, and schedule deliveries.

4. Connect With Local Experts

Once you’ve calculated your dog’s feeding needs, our team can recommend the perfect raw food plan from our locally sourced, MAPAQ-certified menu — all tailored to your dog’s weight and lifestyle.

Why Accuracy Matters in Feeding

Feeding the wrong amount, even by a small margin, can impact your dog’s health over time. That’s especially true for raw diets, where nutrient density is higher than kibble.

A calculator helps you:

  • Maintain a healthy weight without guesswork.
  • Prevent overfeeding-related issues like bloating or obesity.
  • Support muscle tone, energy, and digestion naturally.
  • Make raw feeding consistent and stress-free.

     

At All Raw Dog Food, we combine expert knowledge with practical tools, giving you clarity and confidence in every scoop.

Transitioning to Raw? Here’s What to Know

Switching from kibble or canned food to raw can be intimidating — but it doesn’t have to be.

Our Dog Feeding Calculator helps you plan the transition safely and gradually. We recommend starting by replacing 25% of meals with raw food for the first week, then increasing to 50%, 75%, and finally 100% raw by week four.

This steady transition helps your dog’s digestive system adapt, reducing the chances of an upset stomach or rejection.

During this process, use the calculator to adjust portion sizes as your dog’s weight and energy change. Our experts are always available to help you fine-tune your plan.

What Sets Our Calculator (and Our Brand) Apart

While other online calculators give generic answers, ours is built from years of real-world feeding experience and local data. We’ve seen what works for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and lifestyles — and we’ve designed this guide to reflect that.

1. Tailored for Canadian Pet Owners

We account for local climates, lifestyle patterns, and regional breeds — all of which can affect caloric needs.

2. Designed by Raw Feeding Experts

Our calculations are based on biological feeding principles, not kibble standards — because raw food behaves differently in the body.

Whether you’re raising a puppy or caring for a senior dog, our feeding calculator adjusts for their unique metabolism and health goals.

4. Connected to Real Products

Once you find your dog’s perfect portion, you can easily order All Raw Dog Food’s balanced meals — perfectly portioned, frozen fresh, and delivered to your door.

Your Feeding Questions, Answered

We know dog owners have a lot of questions — here are a few we hear most often.

How Often Should I Feed My Dog?

Most adult dogs do best on two meals per day, while puppies under six months often need three smaller meals to maintain stable energy levels.

Can I Use the Calculator for Puppies or Seniors?

Yes — our tool adjusts feeding amounts for growth stages and age-related metabolism changes.

What if My Dog Needs to Lose or Gain Weight?

You can easily modify the recommended percentage range in the calculator. Feed at the lower end (1.5–2%) for weight loss, or slightly higher (3–4%) for weight gain.

Is Raw Feeding Safe?

Absolutely. Our products are made in a MAPAQ-certified facility, following strict hygiene standards and balanced for complete nutrition.

What If I Don’t Have Time to Measure Portions?

We can pre-portion your orders for convenience — just tell us your calculated daily requirement, and we’ll handle the rest.
