Ancestral Raw Feeding Guide
Your Pet’s Instinct. Our Nutrition.
Feeding raw means aligning your pet’s diet with nature. Whether you’re raising a growing pup, caring for a pregnant queen, or supporting an active adult, our Prey Model Raw (PMR) blends help you fuel them right.
For Puppies (and Kittens):
Start by dividing their daily food into 2–3 meals. Puppies grow fast, so adjust amounts weekly.
- 5% of your pet’s current body weight per day.
- Example: A 10 lb puppy needs roughly 8 oz of raw food daily (10 × 0.05).
For Adult Dogs:
Every dog is unique—age, activity, and metabolism matter.
- 3–4% of your pet’s ideal adult weight per day.
- Example: A 50 lb adult dog eats 24–32 oz daily (50 × 0.03 to 0.04).
- Active or pregnant/lactating dogs may require more.
- Less active or senior dogs may need less.
Feeding Is Flexible
These percentages are guidelines, not strict rules. Observe your pet’s weight, energy, and overall condition—and adjust accordingly. You know your pet best.
Boost Nutrition with Treats
Need extra calories or enrichment? Try our dehydrated treats—they’re perfect for supporting a raw lifestyle.
FROM ANCESTRAL RAW TO YOU
It's easy to over feed and under feed your pet while feeding any diet, we recommend using your best judgement when issues arise (i.e. not interested in his meals, loose stools, etc). Keep in mind that the body percentage rule for a puppy / kitten or adult pet is a general estimation and you as the owner know your pet the best so you can always adjust your pets feeding amount based on your pets behavior and physical needs.
From Our Pack to Yours 🐾
We’re proud to fuel your pet with the nutrition they were born to eat.

As you would when preparing raw meat for your human family, take the precautions of washing your hands after touching, cleaning surfaces thoroughly. While animals have the digestive tracts to deal with contaminants such as salmonella and e-coli still take normal precautions while prepping your pets food in your home and remember to treat your dog and cat food as you would any other raw meat.
