Raw Dog Food

How much does the actual content of canned pet food differ from the label? Remember the horse meat scandal in Europe in 2013? When authorities found that meat packers mixed horse meat with beef to make that special burger? Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) found that many burgers sold in the UK supermarket had horse muscle DNA. The molecular test used is one of the most sensitive and specific tests available to investigators today and therefore proved beyond any doubt that horse meat was mixed with other meat. I don’t know about you, but I have strong feelings about eating someone’s pet. The scandal proved to be much wider than what initially thought and the same practice was discovered across Europe.

Starting a puppy on RawChoice is easy. First, start by figuring out how much do you need to feed your puppy. This depends on the age and the anticipated body weight. You can use our calculator (http://www.rawchoice.ca/calculator.html) or use the following general guideline:

8 weeks to 16 weeks: Anticipated Adult Weight x 2%

16 weeks to 9 months: Anticipated Adult Weight x 2.5%

6 months to 18 months (high energy breeds only): Anticipated Adult Weight x 3%

Examples:

Example 1:

Anticipated adult weight: 50 lbs

8 week puppy – 50 x 2% = 1lb per day (up to 16 weeks)

16 week puppy – 50 x 2.5 % = 1.25 lb per day

6 month old (highly active) = 50 x 3% = 1.5 lb per day

Example 2:

Anticipated Adult Weight: 80 lbs

8 Week old Puppy – 80 lbs x 2% = 1.5 lbs per day

16 Week old Puppy – 80 lbs x 2.5% = 2 lbs per day

6 Month Old – 80 lbs x 3% = 2.5 lbs per day

The amount determined would be divided into 2 or 3 equal meals. We recommend transitioning your puppy on RawChoice
