Re: Starting to feed raw food
These are good sites to get you started, plus Ella has a thread running on feeding raw. The general amount recommended is 2 - 3% of your dog's adult weight. Pups should be given a little more than that as they have so much growing to do. But just watch your pup - if he puts on too much weight, cut down a little & vice versa!

Re: Starting to feed raw food
There are 2 ways to do it either
2-3% of expected body weight
or
10% of current weight until pup weighs 30% of adult weight or hits 6 months
I choose to go with 2-3% and adjust according to pups body condition personally
