I have 3 rotts and they get 454gms each a day. They all weigh just under 40kgs so they are getting less than the 2% ratio. One of them even at that tends to put on weight so she has to be cut down more. I find with the raw feeding you need to look at the dog and ajust to them not go by the book.

Cain was on 800g when he weighed 45kg, which is less than 2%. He put on 2kg *grrrrr*

Now he's on 700g a day and is down to 42/43kg which is much better. Going to up him to about 730g to try and stablise his weight now. I thought he'd be starving on that amount but he's not. He gets a big raw carrot every day to bulk it out and he's not starving to death on less than 2% Of course when he gets off lead and runs more, I may need to put it up. It's so different for all dogs.
