Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| First, you're puppy is absolutely adorable!
Secondly, I'm glad the raw is helping out your pup! There's quite a few different threads on raw feeding, if you search around the forum. I also found a link to better help you.

Here is a raw food calculator as well.

http://www.raw4dogs.com/calculate.htm Thanks for a fast reply. iv done a lot of reading. but im getting confused with this 2% or 3% of adult weight haha. iv asked the breeder for the adult weight of mum and dad is around 21kg and 24kg. should I be feeding 250grams or 400grams? Im scared of overfeeding him at same time scared of underfeeding him sorry if im missing some think. |

| I'd go with his dad's weight, since he's male also. If you're really concerned about overfeeding you could start low and then increase if it doesn't seem like enough. He's a cutie, good luck C: |

| I don't know that I'd feed a puppy two pounds a day or more; however, you could try to feed him about 20z a day in two or three separate feedings. So, either two meals of 10 oz or three meals of 7 oz.
I tend to feed puppies 2 - 3 % of adult weight. Teddy gets about 16 oz (1 lb) of food a day.

| We go with about one pound of food a day as well for our puppies. A 24 kg male (unless he is racing or working hard in some other way) needs about 1 pound of food a day (450 grams or .45 kg) While a puppy doesn't weigh 24 kg, his body is growing at such a rapid rate that he needs that extra energy anyway. We have found that providing our puppies with an adult portion of raw every day is the perfect amount in spite of their much smaller bodies. Don't worry. It may seem like a lot but 450 grams is actually the perfect amount for your puppy. I would just divide it up into 2 or 3 feedings per day. |

| The best thing about feeding him based on his expected adult weight, is that you won't need to change his portions as he grows unless his activity level or metabolism changes. He can just continue with the same amount as he grows. and congratulations on your cute new puppy. |
