I was wondering how much raw food I should feed my new Boston Terrier? He's about 8 weeks old and weighs almost 7 pounds. He is a little boy for his age but I was wondering, im gonna grind the food up im just wondering how much I should feed! Thanks y'all!How much raw food to feed Boston Terrier as it grows up?
You don't need to grind it, his little chompers are perfectly capable of crunching bones at his age!
Puppies need 2-3% of their ideal adult body weight daily, or if you're not sure of that number, then 5-10% of their current weight until grown. Of course, let your pup's body condition be your real guide; the numbers are only there to get you started.
In case you haven't seen them before, here are some great links to get you started on feeding a proper raw diet:

Make sure you feed more than just raw food. Raw is excellent but it's good to balance it with some dry as well. I feed my boston about 1/2 cup twice a day, so you want the proportion somewhat similar. Since he is a puppy you can feed him three times a day until he is around 6 months. You can experiment a little bit too. If your dog is looking skinny, than increase the amount. If he is looking fat, then cut back a little bit. You will find the right amount for his size.How much raw food to feed Boston Terrier as it grows up?
Personally, I allow puppies and kittens to eat as much as they want through out the day.
You don't have to grind it either.How much raw food to feed Boston Terrier as it grows up?
3% of his body weight spread over his # of feedings. You need to feed meat, bones and organs.
Ask your vet.
