Science-Backed Raw Food Diet Calculator for Dogs

Accurate feeding portions you can trust, built by Ottawa raw feeding experts

When you’re feeding your dog a raw diet, one of the most common questions is: “How much should I give them each day?”

Get it wrong, and you risk overfeeding, leading to weight gain, or underfeeding, which can cause nutritional deficiencies. Unfortunately, many online calculators oversimplify the process, leaving pet owners uncertain.

At Raw Fed & Furry, we designed our raw food diet calculator to give precise, science-backed feeding portions tailored to your dog’s individual needs and to connect you directly to the right products locally in Ottawa.

Why Accuracy Matters in Raw Feeding

Dogs aren’t all the same. Even two dogs of the same weight can have very different caloric and nutritional requirements based on:

• Age and life stage

• Breed and body type

• Activity level

• Current health and medical history
  

Generic calculators often ignore these factors, producing estimates that might work for some dogs but not for others. Our calculator uses a more refined approach, taking these variables into account.

How Our Calculator Works

We designed it to be as simple as possible without sacrificing accuracy.

1. Enter your dog’s details – weight, age, and activity level

2. Add health or dietary notes – such as if they’re a puppy, senior, or have specific needs

3. Get your personalized portion – results are shown in grams per day for clarity

4. Link directly to local products – so you can match your results to actual food available in Ottawa
   

Ease of Use Without Losing Detail

We know pet owners want tools that are easy to use but still meaningful. Our calculator:

• Works seamlessly on mobile or desktop

• Gives results instantly no email signup required

• Uses plain language to explain the recommendations

• Provides safe handling tips alongside portion sizes

Whether you’re new to raw feeding or experienced, you’ll find it straightforward.

Why Trust Our Calculator

Our recommendations are based on current nutritional science, veterinary guidance, and years of raw feeding expertise. Because we’re based in Ottawa, we can also ensure that our portion guidance aligns with locally available products, so you’re not chasing down hard-to-find items.

We also regularly review and update our formulas to reflect new research and best practices.

Local Access Means Better Implementation

One of the biggest frustrations with online feeding tools is that they don’t connect the results to real food sources. That’s why our calculator links directly to products we stock at Raw Fed & Furry  all balanced, high-quality options ready for pickup or local delivery.

Avoiding Common Portion Mistakes

Even with a calculator, some pet owners still run into feeding issues. Common mistakes include:

• Not adjusting for activity changes – dogs burn more calories in active months

• Ignoring life stage shifts – puppies grow quickly and need recalculations every few weeks

• Feeding only one protein long-term – variety is key for nutritional balance

Our calculator helps you sidestep these mistakes by prompting you to update your dog’s profile regularly.

Integrating Supplements and Raw Meals

If your dog is on supplements for joints, skin, or digestion we can help you adjust their feeding plan so the supplements complement their diet rather than overload it. Our calculator results can be combined with supplement guidance during an in-store consultation.

What Our Customers Say

"If you're looking for a high quality, high protein raw dog food, Raw Fed & Furry is an excellent choice. We can see it in our dog's coat and energy. Our dog was born with a skin disease that caused his hair to fall out. Once we fed him raw, his coat grew back healthy and shiny, and his energy improved dramatically."

— SALT WAVE, Ottawa

"Amazing service. Always helpful. Been getting raw food from Garth since he opened and he’s always gone above and beyond. My dogs love his food and are in the best health they have ever been."

— David Beraki, Ottawa

"Great raw food supplier! Our two Alaskan Malamutes absolutely love the Premium and Chicken Mix. Their coats are shinier, teeth are whiter, and stools are less stinky and smaller — overall a much healthier and happier pair of dogs."

— F Mu, Ottawa
