Fish (how much raw fish to feed per week?)

Yesterday Gave Cookie and Kai a fresh Raw Sardine each and they loved it.

Am trying to introuduce Raw,but not sure how much Fish a week they should have

Cookie weighs 52kg Kai 60kg they only had 1 sardine each(how many would you give? ) and a chicken leg for breakfast as in this heat they will not touch there normal food.

They dogs eat there normal food at night (Autrky and Nature Diet)

When you say you are trying to introduce raw, do you mean that you are changing over to raw completely, or are you going to continue with the Autarky and Nature Diet?

I feed raw and mine get fish once a week. They get two meals a day and they get fish for one of those meals (normally sardine but sometimes mackrel).

The amount you feed will depend entirely on the individual dog and their metabolism, but as a rough guide mine get between 300g and 600g per meal. The 300g (or 350g) is for a bitch whom weighs 31Kg, 450g for a dog who weighs approx 24KG (though he needs to be weighed again) and 600g for a dog that weighs 41Kg.
