Hey all! Brand new to the forum and new to the Cane Corso breed. Previously a Boxer owner until my buddy passed in January. I've got some questions concerning feeding my pup raw and kibble. Here's my idea and what I know so far:
I want to feed him raw for his evening meal and a high quality ingredient kibble for his other meals. For his kibble I've gone with Blue Diamond Large Breed Puppy Food as it helps support a balanced growth so that he doesnt get too large and has solid ingredients with no corn and other fillers.
For his raw diet I'd like to do the 80/10/5/5 split between the lean meat/bone/liver/other organ meat .
My question is in regards to portioning the raw. One source I looked into suggested 2 to 3 percent of the breeds average weight in lbs (which I'd then divide by 2 since I'm only doing raw half time). Another source suggested 8% of the puppies current weight in lbs, adjusting as he grows. Once I know the lbs, I then divide the percentages according to the ingredients.
Which do you all suggest? The 2 to 3% rule or the 8% of bodyweight rule? Or do you have something different to suggest?
Thanks for anyone's feedback!
