Getting an australian shepherd and going to feed it a raw diet. What must be in it? I’m feeding my dog like the wild, so don’t say any supplements please. Any percentages or things that need to be in it. Do you have any recipes that can be fed to an Aussie? Also can I have how many servings are made? Thanks so much. Where can I buy the ingredients too?

I am getting an 11 week old standard poodle puppy and he is coming on a raw diet. I want him to have all the proper nutrients, I have put the entire recipe in nutritiondata.com and can see the amounts of all of the nutrients and calories. I have been trying to go by the AAFCO dog food requirements. But they are in percentages and nutritiondata.com is showing me in mg.

I may be just making a stupid mistake but for example aafco says dog food needs 1.0% calcium. And in 100g of food there is 143mg of calcuim. So my answer ends up being 0.143% calcium. If this calculation is true then the puppy will be extremely deficient in this vital nutrient. Maybe I should focus on how much of the nutrients a day they need?

This diet consists of percentages of different foods and i am confused how to base these measurements. should i give him a percentage of his weight or a base number? and if thats the case, what is the base?
