A WEEKLY FEEDING PLAN
Many have asked me for some time now, yet I vaguely told anyone how I feed my dogs weekly because I switch it up so much week to week. My proteins sources and mixes switch every week, so to give you the most honest answer I can, I truly go by how I'm feeling and what I'm observing with my dogs. I have this feeling of true honor when it comes to caring for my animals, I feel that they are reflections of me and my life style while still being their own individual.
The first part of this is a list of my dogs, how much they weigh, what % of raw they are fed, and the actual amounts they're fed a day.
PRINCESS MEESHA (mix breed)
BODY WEIGHT: 43
RAW FED % SCALE: 3%
RAW FOOD WEIGHT: 1 pound 2 ounces (per day)
AYE BAY BAY
BODY WEIGHT: 68
RAW FED % SCALE: 2.5%
RAW FOOD WEIGHT: 1 pound 7 ounces (per day)
MEI XIANG
BODY WEIGHT: 70
RAW FED % SCALE: 3%
RAW FOOD WEIGHT: 2 pounds 1 ounce (per day)
KING RAGNAR
BODY WEIGHT: 50 (actual weight)
RAW FED % SCALE: 4% (puppy)
RAW FOOD WEIGHT: 2 pounds (per feeding)
I do not trim off any of the fat in or on the items I feed my dogs, this is the only source of fat they receive. I also must remind you, when looking at bags of kibble, you're told to look for the amount of protein and FAT, so the fat that Raw Fed Dogs need is provided already on the food, so do not trim off the fat if only raw fed.
So here it is, a general week plan that I have used before. My raw mixes are what I call Frankenstein Mixes which are combinations of different protein sources made with a formula that I use to feed my dogs, making sure they get the essentials inside of the Frankenstein Mixes. Remember variety is key to feeding Raw.
MONDAY:
3/4 Raw Mix, 1/4 Beef Neck Bones with a 1/2 cup of Barley and a 1/4 cup of Black Beans.
TUESDAY:
Chicken or Duck Quarter Legs, with Chicken or Duck Necks
WEDNESDAY:
1/2 Ribs, 1/4 Heart, and 1/4 Tongue with a cup to 2 of cooked Pasta
THURSDAY:
Raw Mix
FRIDAY:
Chicken or Duck Quarter Leg, Raw Mix, Chicken Duck or Turkey Necks
SATURDAY:
1/2 Raw Mix, 1/2 Chicken Duck or Turkey Necks with a cup of cooked Rice
SUNDAY:
Fasting day for dogs 1 year old and older.
Each week things are rotated, and the Fasting Day sets it all in motion; yet this accompanied with the meal the day before fasting, containing extra Meaty Bone on top of the dogs normal meal. With fasting days I go Sunday, Saturday, Friday, and so on and just continue with that rotation; which then rotates the days of feeding, Monday Tuesday Wednesday and so on. (Sunday fasting becomes Saturday fasting; Saturday food becomes Sunday food)
Hopefully this is able to help you figure out an feeding regimen. Remember my feed regimen is accompanied by my condition plan called The Program:
