Guide & FAQs

Puppy Growth Food Tracker by Age

Puppies have astronomical energy demands compared to adult dogs. If you feed a growing puppy using standard adult percentages, you will severely stunt their growth and compromise their immune system. A puppy’s metabolic requirement is constantly shifting, meaning their food intake must be recalculated monthly.

Safe Calcium-to-Phosphorus Ratios for Large Breeds

While all puppies need carefully balanced raw food, large and giant breeds are particularly sensitive. Overfeeding or supplying an incorrect calcium-to-phosphorus ratio can cause them to grow too quickly, leading to severe, irreversible orthopedic diseases like hip dysplasia and osteochondrosis (OCD).

Frequently Asked Questions

How much raw food should I feed a growing puppy?

Puppies require scaling metabolic portions. At 3 to 4 weeks old, they need about 8% of their body weight daily. This scales down to 5% to 6% by 6 months, and tapers to the adult standard of 2% to 3% by 12 months.
