An adult dog will eat approx. 15% of its bodyweight per week - or some say between 2 %26amp; 3% per day.
A puppy will eat not far off of that as they eat a lot more when growing.
As for how much - I find feeding raw far cheaper and obviously more healthy. I feed my adult rotties for approx. 拢1.25 per day and that is including organic chicken carcass which would be more expensive than normal butchers or supermarket.
There are plenty of pre-packed frozen foods for dogs as well of which I will use some such as tripe and these can range in price by a fair amount and depending on whether you buy one or two or have it delivered from a supplier as some people do.
Source butchers now and start planning
I also think you gain anyway as your dog will be healthier and not have to visit the vets so often.
Average about 40 kgs. The amount they have depends totally on the dogs age and metabolism. The youngest smallest b*tch of 32 kgs would eat as much as the oldest biggest male of 50 kgs purely because of metabolism. They now eat only approx. 1 1/2 lb of meat a day average.
Obviously a springer's metabolism is quite high and therefore would burn off a lot, but that would happen whether raw or complete.Is feeding a raw, prey model diet cheaper than premium dry food?
I depends if you give your dog good quality dog food and how high of quality ingredients you buy for the raw food. Sometimes it can be cheaper, and if you usually give your dog bad dog food like Science Diet, Royal Canin, or Purina, then it will be better for your dog.
