Raw Meal Plans - Finding A Balance

[Rita Wilson]

This is based on what our dogs would get...average weight 25kg-30kg roughly 2.2lb per day based on activity level high.

The menu is designed to attain and maintain nutritional balance over a one week period. Balance is achieved by including a variety of muscle meats, organs, fats and bones. This philosophy is based on the principles of the whole prey model (we do not feed veg). The plan can be strictly adhered to, or you may find your pet responds better to nutritional modifications (e.g., more chicken, less lamb). Vegetable puree is optional in a natural raw diet. Some dogs seem to love plant matter while others refuse to consume it. We prefer to give chunks of meats more than minces as they get the dogs jaws working but we do add minces to the diet.
