Every now and again I will pull out the scale and weigh something, but basically, you can tell how much your dog needs by their weight. I now have three dogs on raw, two of them are about 70 pounds and still considered "puppies." I spent about $100-$120 for about 140 pounds of meat a month. My guys eat a LOT of meat, and the pulped veggies and fruit from my juicer. I don't make lists anymore, because I know what to buy.

I feed my dogs(and cats) raw also. BUT, I will also say that when u over complicate things that's why most people are turned off by it. People just wanna throw some kibble in a dish and be done w/ it. I'M NOT SAYING WHAT U ARE DOING IS WRONG, but u could make sure people know that feeding raw doesn't require measuring, writing lists or anything like that unless u WANT to. Not out of necessity. Just make sure ya mix it up every few days. 1st let me say I totally support what you’re doing here. I feed my dogs(and cats) raw also.
