Feeding dogs a raw diet

Try to google food distributions companies in your area. Like I said, they usually are warehouses that sell to restaurants. I live in a very samll town but there is one in a larger town about 20 miles away and one about an hour away and that's what I do once a month, get the food in 40 lb boxes, let it partially defrost and put the daily amounts I need into Walmart bags and freeze them. Just take a bag out daily to defrost. When I go away sometimes I have to board them at a groomers and give her the meat to feed so it's not a problem. Its more of a problem getting someone to take care of the chickens.

I found two butchers near our house, so I will call them soon and see if they would be willing to give/sell us some meat. So, about how much food would a 60 pound dog and a 10 pound dog eat a day?

Anywhere from 1 to 5% of their bodyweight - depending on their metabolism and energy levels. Ummm try 3lbs for the Lab and adjust as needed. Raw feeding is very much a “know thy dog” thing
