So you've decided to switch your dog over to barf raw dog food!

You are sold on the fact that this will be a much healthier way for your dog to eat and will provide him with good energy, great skin and coat and keep all of his systems running smoothly. BARF raw dog food will do all of these things. One question that comes up however, when first switching over is how much should I feed my dog and does his breed matter.

The answer to the Breed question is no. When feeding barf raw dog food, there is no difference between breeds. A Toy Poodle will eat exactly the same type of food as a Great Dane, the portion sizes and the sizes of the raw bones you give the dog will vary of course, but the type of food is the same.

There are differences however. A puppy will consume way more protein and calories than a full grown dog. He's growing like a weed and needs more protein and calories. A puppy will also eat as many as four times a day. Whereas a full grown dog may only eat once or twice.

When deciding how much barf raw dog food to feed your full grown dog, you should take into account his activity level and basic overall energy. A small very active dog will have different needs than perhaps a larger more lethargic dog. You need to simply experiment a bit and see how much your dog wants to eat and how it effects his energy levels.

If you are feeding him a bunch of dry kibble but he's only getting empty calories from the cooked, machined, grain filled stuff. then he won't have the energy he needs to run through his day. BARF raw dog food is a much better alternative. Plus, you may be able to get him the calories he needs with less food.
