    Default 80-10-10

    Feel like maybe a stupid question but here it is...
    Ok, is the 80-10-10 formula a daily thing or weekly or what?

    I try to make sure I feed 10% organ over the course of a week. I don't really measure the bone, for that I just go by their poops and feed more or less bone depending on how the poop looks. They typically get something with bone for the morning meal, and boneless in the evening.

    it can be either or but it can be hard trying to do 80-10-10 daily so it's usually easier for people to achieve balance over time

    My dogs poop goes from crumbly one time to soft the next. Today it was a little runny. I think I am feeding her to much. She is 20 - 23 lbs and I am giving her 4 oz twice a day. That sound about right?

    If your dogs are maintaining a healthy weight, you're feeding the right amount

    If they lose weight you should feed a little more

    If they gain weight feed a little less
