// Diet followed //

BARF method
70% muscle meat (includes fat, tendons, certain organs)
10% bone (comes in bone-in meat)
7% vegetables
5% liver
5% other secreting organ
2% seeds/nuts
1% berries

Our dogs’ stools are better if they get a slightly higher amount of bone, so in our case the bone content is 12%, and we lowered the meat content to 68%.

// Caloric needs //

This prep resulted in 15 days worth of food for two Staffordshire Bull Terriers who require an intake of approximately 950 calories a day. Their average daily intake is 450 grams.
Mojo weighs 15.5 kg and consumes 2.9% of her body weight in food a day. Venus weighs 13.5 kg and consumes 3.35% of her body weight in food a day. They are both active, but Venus gets more intense exercise sessions than Mojo. Due to the metabolic differences, they currently require the same amount of calories, despite Venus being much smaller than Mojo.
