A general rule for dry kibble is 18–25g per kg of body weight per day, but this varies by brand, age, and activity level. Always follow the feeding guide on the packaging and adjust based on body condition.
Is raw feeding cheaper or more expensive?
Raw (BARF) feeding can cost $3–8/day for a medium dog, similar to premium kibble. The cost varies widely based on whether you buy minces, whole carcasses, or pre-made raw meals.
