How to Create Balanced DIY Raw Dog Food Recipes

Making homemade raw dog food is the best way to ensure your pet is getting fresh, preservative-free nutrition. However, the most critical part of a DIY raw diet is balance. Imbalanced recipes can lead to calcium deficiencies or organ overdoses.

Our DIY Raw Dog Food Helper uses the Prey Model Raw (PMR) standard to ensure your recipes hit the "Golden Ratio":

Common Ingredients for Homemade Dog Food

When using this calculator, you can include a variety of proteins. Here are some popular choices for balanced formulations:

  • Muscle Meat: Lean ground beef, chicken thighs, pork loin, heart, lung, gizzards.
  • Raw Meaty Bones (RMBs): Chicken wings (approx. 45% bone), Duck necks (50% bone), Turkey tails.
  • Liver (5%): Beef liver, chicken liver, pork liver. Essential for Vitamin A.
  • Other Organs (5%): Kidney, Spleen, Brain, Pancreas, Testicles.

Why Use a Recipe Calculator?

"Eyeballing" it is dangerous. A raw dog food recipe calculator allows you to precision-measure ingredients. For example, if you add 200g of Chicken Wings, you are adding both bone AND meat. Our tool mathematically separates the bone percentage so you can see exactly how much calcium you are providing.
