Below are average feeding amounts for various size dogs. This is not set in stone and can fluctuate, in fact the guideline, 2% of your dogs body weight, is how many ounces you will feed per day. This amount can change quite a bit depending on age, activity level, and whether you dog needs to gain weight or lose weight at the time of starting a whole food diet. This is meant to be a guide only.

YES! Feeding a whole food diet is going to be a little bit more expensive, but if you couple this with not having to pay a vet for one verterinary dental cleaning you are paying roughly the same price for food per year. According to VPI pet insurance, the average cost of a canine dental procedure is $300. Wouldn't that money would be better spent on a better more healthy, natural diet!
