All About 80/10/10

You will see lots of references to "80/10/10" when researching a raw food diet for your pet. In simple terms, it is the approximate ratio's or percentage of meat, bone and organ you are aiming to feed. The ratio's are based on the approximate composition of any animal your pet might instinctively hunt and kill as a food source (if they were in the wild). This is what we are trying to replicate by feeding a raw diet - albeit far more civilised than hunting, killing and gorging :)

​

To help you further, below are some examples of each category:
