MrLiquid Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hi all! I hate having to do things over and over so I built a excel sheet calculator. Can you take a look and make sure I've included everything. You'll notice the averages are about the same as the sites say to use. I added .05% increase to make up for rounding. The upload wouldn't work so here's a link to my temp site http://www.floridabordercollies.com/dogfood.xls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berocca Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 It works for me. Let me tell you though, if your try to feed percentages over a daily amount you will drive yourself absolutely batty. The beauty of feeding a RAW prey model diet is that it just has to even out in the long run. I do mine on a weekly schedule which works out to be roughly 4 days of meat, 2 of RMBS and 1 of organs. If I forget to buy organs I feed it twice the next week, if I only have meat then thats what they get for a week and I increase their bones the next week. I know people who feed it over a monthly schedule but thats a bit too spread out for my liking. Some people like to feed a chicken neck or something similar each day as it is the bone that provides the hardness to the poo but I have ever had a problem with loose stools with my dogs and I have been feeding this diet for over a year now with 5 different dogs. Plus Rose the cat. I have this chart on my fridge. Every meal I write next to it what they had (c= chicken, f= fish, l= lamb, b=beef, k= kangaroo) so that I dont feed them chicken all week etc. I write breakfast on the left, dinner on the right, although they usually just get one meal as Im lazy so I write both the same time . Any extra stuff I added gets written down the bottom (e= egg, y= yoghurt). It is easy to keep track of what they have had this way and I dont double up too much. I have a similar one for the cockatiels as I feed them a very natural diet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
