Free Raw Feeding Calculator for Dogs
Work out your adult dog’s daily raw feeding amount and create a practical shopping list using Ancestral, BARF or PMR feeding guidelines. Choose your dog’s amount, select your feeding model and raw meaty bone, and the calculator will do the maths for you.

2%, 2.5% and 3% are starting points rather than guarantees. Use your dog's ideal or target body weight and adjust according to body condition, activity, metabolism and individual needs.

Important: these are average edible-bone reference percentages.
The calculator uses them to convert the framework's edible-bone target
into the weight of the whole raw meaty bone you need.
How I'm calculating your raw meaty bone
The 10% or 11% bone figure in the feeding framework means actual edible bone, not 10% or 11% whole chicken wings, necks or ribs.
The calculator works out the actual edible-bone requirement first, then divides it by the average bone fraction of your selected RMB. The attached non-bone portion of that RMB is then counted towards the muscle-meat allocation so it is not counted twice.

Educational guidance & important information
This Wild Side Raw calculator is provided for general educational and batch-planning purposes for adult dogs. Results are calculated from the information entered, the percentage-based feeding framework selected and the average edible-bone reference value of the selected raw meaty bone. It is not an individual veterinary prescription, diagnosis, treatment plan or a guarantee that a particular recipe is complete and balanced for every individual dog.
Individual nutritional requirements can vary with age, life stage, body condition, activity, metabolism, health, medications and the ingredients used. Puppies and growing dogs, pregnant or lactating dogs, dogs with medical conditions, dogs taking medication and dogs with specialised nutritional requirements require individually appropriate veterinary and/or veterinary nutrition guidance.
About raw meaty bone calculations
The percentage assigned to edible bone in the selected feeding framework represents the target weight of actual edible bone. A raw meaty bone is not 100% bone. It also contains varying amounts of meat, fat, skin and/or connective tissue. This calculator therefore converts the edible-bone target into a whole RMB weight using the selected RMB's average edible-bone reference percentage. Its estimated non-bone portion is counted towards the muscle-meat allocation to prevent it being counted twice.
RMB edible-bone percentages are average reference values. Individual animals, cuts and individual pieces naturally vary. Therefore the mathematical calculation can be performed correctly from the selected reference percentage, but the exact physical amount of bone, calcium or phosphorus in an individual RMB cannot be guaranteed from its weight alone.
Raw meaty bones should be fed raw, appropriately sized for the individual dog and under supervision. Never feed cooked bones. Inclusion of an RMB in this calculator does not mean that every RMB is suitable for every dog. Size, chewing style, experience, dental health and individual tolerance should be considered.
Raw food hygiene
Raw animal products can carry harmful microorganisms. Use appropriate refrigeration, freezing, food preparation, cleaning and hand-washing practices. Regular veterinary health checks remain important regardless of feeding approach.
