Give Your Dog More by Feeding Raw.
Each dog is unique, and their nutritional needs vary based on age, activity level, and body condition. To ensure your pet receives the perfect portion, use our Feeding Calculator below to determine their ideal daily amount.
General (with emphasis!!) Guidelines:
- Puppies (up to 14 months old) need 5-10% of their body weight per day, split into multiple meals to support rapid growth.
- Adult Dogs (1-7 years old) typically require 2-3% of their body weight daily, adjusted for energy level and body condition.
- Senior Dogs (7+ years old) may need 1.5-2.5% of their body weight, depending on metabolism and mobility.
Adjustments for Activity & Body Condition:
- Highly active dogs (working, sporting breeds) may require increased portions for optimal performance.
- Less active or overweight dogs may need smaller portions to maintain a healthy weight.
- Underweight dogs should be fed at the higher end of their range for healthy weight gain.
For precise feeding recommendations, use our feeding calculator below and monitor your dog's condition regularly. Always provide fresh water and feel free to reach out to us if you have questions.
To determine body condition, use the Dog Body Condition Chart below.

Transitioning to a Raw Dog Food Diet
Because “raw is right,” most dogs instinctively love raw food and can quickly transition. Dogs with a regular, healthy appetite and constitution can be transitioned onto Albright’s raw dog food diet using the schedule below.
- Days 1-4: Feed 25% Albright's with 75% old food.
- Days 5-8: Feed 50% Albright's with 50% old food.
- Days 9-12: Feed 75% Albright's with 25% old food.
- Day 13+: Go all Albright's!
If your pet is a little pickier or has a more delicate stomach, use this schedule but extend each step by a couple of days or until your dog has comfortably adapted to their new diet.
The Scoop on Poop
Pay attention to your dog’s digestion. Sometimes a new food can cause loose stools — or sometimes, it’s just excitement about a new, tasty raw diet. If your dog’s stool is normal and your pet is eating the Raw food eagerly, you can move to the next step. However, if your dog’s gut is unused to fresh raw ingredients and gets a little overstimulated, reduce it back to a spoonful or two with their previous regular dog food.
Since there is less bulk and filler food going in, there is less poop coming out, so don’t be concerned that your dog is constipated just because they’re pooping less on their new raw dog food diet. Fewer stools are just the natural result of feeding Raw.
If your dog does seem to be straining or uncomfortable, adding a spoonful or two of canned pumpkin, some shredded raw carrot, or sweet potato should help them poop happily again.
