How much raw food?

[luckyone]

Lucky will be six months this week and i have started to introduce her to raw food. she loves chicken wings and today she had her first lamb rib, which she enjoyed. Could anyone tell me how much raw constitutes a meal? 2 chicken wings? Also, the lamb rib looked quite fatty = should i cut the fat off?
Thank you

I feed 2 wings per meal and do this 3 or 4 times a week.  Mason is 18 months now and I still only feed two.  If the lamb ribs I get are fatty then I do try and trim some of that off and just leave the meat.  The rest of the time I feed raw minces with vegetables.

The rule of thumb is 2-3% of ideal adult weight.

Honey started out on 3 wings, but we cut down to 2 as she started to put on weight... 

With Lamb, I cut off any big bits of fat, but I'm not obsessive about it.

I take most of the fat off lamb ribs. To much fat can cause pancreatitis.

But bear in mind that dogs need a far higher fat proportion in their diet than humans: they get more of their energy needs from fat on a raw diet  (humans - and dogs on commercial processed foods which contain complex carbohydrates - get their primary energy needs met by carbohydrates).
