I started raw last winter and saw a big improvement in my dogs coats and over all health, though lately they're picked up fleas (yay.......). I would highly reccomend joining the raw feeding group on Yahoo! groups. One is called Raw Chat, the other is just called Raw Feeding. Both have a ton of links and very helpful people!<br><b>References : </b><br>Raw feeder You should feed 2-3% (between .54lbs and .81lbs – depends on her activity level, she will probably add muscle on raw, so judge her weight by her waist), 80% should be meat, 10% UNCOOKED bones, 10% organs (w/ about 5% of that being liver).

It's recommend starting with 1/2 pound of food per 25 lbs of body weight daily and make adjustments according to your dog's age and activity. Also it's suggest that the daily ration be split to feed morning and night. Remember that a healthy dog is not overweight If you do start feeding raw it's a good idea to start reading as much as you can about it. Raw feeding is not an exact science and there are a lot of opinions out there about it. My advice is to adjust how much, and what you feed your dog by how your dog responds. A good website to start research is http://www.barfworld.com/ Good luck! <br><b>References : </b><br> Adult dogs can be fed between 2-3% of the their body weight.
