Did I read that right?

At 8 weeks you were feeding 1kg of raw + other stuff per day.

My guy is just over 6 months and 31 kg.

He gets 1.25 kg per day + a handful or two of kibble

if you want the exact amount at 8 week it was 227g raw mince per meal, 2 dog cakes a day and dried tripe to chew on, the amount of food is in proportion to diet my pups free run from 8 weeks old

an example of diet when they are on 3 meals per day

am 3/4 to 1lb of meaty bones ie chicken wings, backs, knecks, tsp alphalfa/seaweed mix, tsp Udo's oil

pm 1/4lb muscle meat chunks ie heart

night 1/4lb muscle meat, tsb Udo's oil

in between 2 dog cakes and dried tripe to chew on, less if training

[wildmoor]

an adults diet used to vary dependent on metabalism of individual dog and work doing on the day between 1-2kg per day

eg average male moderate work, moderate exercise

1lb chicken necks, legs, backs
14 ounces beef/chicken heart or ground meat
1 egg with shell, plus oil etc

another day might be
1/2lb liver
1lb chicken necks/backs/legs
1 egg with shell oil etc

no work light exercise he would get
1/2lb chicken necks etc
1/2lb ground meat oil, seaweed powder etc
