That's the same way I do things here, EWO. All of the dogs I have are on a raw diet, and I've already started increasing the fat content to be ready for the colder weather. The highest % of fat I've fed a dog, in a keep, was between 50-55%. I can't remember the exact amount at this time, but it was a lot. He was a hard working dog, to say the least, and I was pleased to see he was able to handle that amount. The other dogs were fed close to the 40-45% because anything more than that, and they just would put on weight due to not burning the calories.

There is always something interesting when it comes to feeding dogs.

When you upped the fat what do you use for the increase? Actual fat scraps, oils or lard??
Also did you have any issues with loose stools on a high fat diet?
