• weight as at: 23kg
• % feeding - 2.5% ie. 575g/day
  • 460g muscle meat
  • 30g organ + 30g RMB daily

DAILY FEEDING GUIDE:

• 460g muscle meat
• 1 RMB daily
• organ to be fed twice a week (alternate liver)

• frankenprey
  • Muscle Meat: 80%
  • Offal: 10% (5% liver, 5% others)
  • RMB: 10%
• BARF
  • 60-80% RMB
  • 20-40% fruit,veg,muscle meat,organ

• Meats are high in phosphorus, bones are high in calcium. When meat is fed with 10% bone you have the exact ratios of calcium to phosphorus required by a dog. Whole prey, fish, eggs and tripe have a balanced ratio.
• raw diet that includes 30-50% RMB will supply the proper amount of calcium; there is no need to add more.

• remove skin from poultry, cut off separable fat, and stick to parts that are not overly fatty
• white and crumbly stool + strain to eliminate = reduce bone
• My idea of balance over time is to load the freezers once a month with a good variety of meat (80%), edible bone (10%) and organ meat (10%) and, when the freezer is empty, I know they've gotten a variety or "balance" over time

• apples, bananas, papayas, mangoes, berries, and melon
• broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage, all kinds of leafy greens, celery, cucumber, bell peppers, zucchini and other summer squashes, carrots
