First time portioning for dogs (Pics)

[francesca4nikolae]

So today I went to the store and spent about 80$ on food to last almost two weeks for the dogs. I still need to make their veggie patties though. And I also made soupies for the ferrets. The cats are going to stay on patties untill I fully convert my second cat. Then im going to work on chunks and bone. I had no issues dealing with the meat but after about 10 minutes with the liver the smell started getting to me . Hacking at the pork bone was a little tough. This is week two for the dogs in transition so Im bringing in a bit of pork to go with their chicken. The liver Is going in the freezer untill their ready to have organ which will be in a week or two.

Henrys meals portionned. The goal is to have one meal of bones and one of muscle meat.



I want Henry to be 18 pounds(Hes 16) so Im giving him 7 oz of muscle meat and 1.5 oz of pork ribs this week.
Esme is 11 pounds and im giving her 6 oz of muscle meat and 1 oz of pork ribs. Theill be getting the same for their veggie patties and once they start on organ two meals a week of 3.2 oz or so I dont
have the sheet with me. I still dont know if I have this down right.

Dog ratio, from what I understand, is about 10% bone, 80% meat, 10% organ. Heart of course would be part of the meat ratio. Not certain what would be an average serving though
