Standard - the average weight

It always depends on the quality and energy value of the food. As an example I watched on some dry food products (I assume by raw food it looks similar) and there are huge differences:

An example:
very cheap market dry food - 800g daily for 40kg dog
cheap but not the cheapest - 500-600g daily
expensive quality dry food - 300-350g for the same dog

As you see there is really HUGE differences between food A and food B. It's enough to give the dog 300g of some dry food but then there are products where you have to triple the daily dose... With the raw food it is the same but I heard that a 40kg dog with normal activity would need about 1000-1200kcal of energy in his daily food. Of course dogs with high activity can eat even 2 or 3 times more if they really work hard (or they live in cold place).
