After thawing the meat I suggest feeding within 24 hours. This meat is safe to keep frozen for up to 6 months from date of purchase.
example calculations
8 week old puppy weighing 2.5kg multiplied by 10% 2.5x10x10= 250 250 grams a day
40 week old dog weighing 15kg multiplied by 4% 15x10x4= 600 600 grams a day
These are guides only and you may need to adjust due to activity levels of your individual dog.
Jays raw feeding calculator will give an estimation of the daily feeding quantity based on your dog’s weight and age and activity. A more active dog may requre more and correspondingly a more sedate dog may require less.
It is important to remember that these figures are only guidelines: All dogs are individual this means that 2 dogs of the same age, breed and weight could have different requirements
