Raw Diet (BARF) Feeding Calculator

Calculate daily raw food quantities for the 80-10-10 BARF diet based on your dog's weight and activity level.

% of body weight to feed daily. Active dogs: 3%, average: 2-2.5%, seniors: 1.5-2%
% muscle meat (target 70-80%)
% raw meaty bones (target 10-15%)
% organ meat — half should be liver (target 5-10%)

📖What is it?

The BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) Feeding Calculator determines daily raw food quantities using the classic 80-10-10 ratio: 80% muscle meat, 10% raw meaty bones, and 10% organ meat (with at least half being liver).

🎯How to use

Enter your pet's weight, select the feeding percentage based on activity level (2-2.5% for most adult dogs), and adjust the ratio percentages. The calculator outputs grams per component per day.

💡Example scenario

A 25 kg average adult dog at 2.5% body weight: 25,000g x 0.025 = 625 g/day. 80% muscle = 500g, 10% bone = 62.5g, 10% organ = 62.5g (31g should be liver).

🏆Pro tip

NEVER feed cooked bones — they splinter and cause internal injuries. Raw bones are safe. Nutritional balance is achieved over time (across a week), not in every single meal. Include a variety of protein sources (beef, chicken, pork, fish) for micronutrient completeness. Supplement with fish oil for omega-3s. Transition gradually over 2-3 weeks to avoid digestive upset. Veterinary supervision is recommended, especially for puppies.
