Ancestral Raw Feeding Blueprint
Feed Raw With Confidence, Not Fear
A step‑by‑step blueprint and calculator system to help you move from “I’m overwhelmed” to “I’ve got this” with every bowl you serve.
Ancestral Raw Feeding Blueprint™ is a guided workbook and companion Google Sheet created by a longtime breeder who has walked hundreds of puppy families through their first raw meals. It takes you by the hand, explains the why in simple language, and does the math for you so you can focus on watching your dog thrive—not worrying if you’re getting it perfect.
Clear, myth‑busting education on safe, ancestral raw feeding
Printable checklists, tracking pages, and real‑life examples
A Feeding Calculator that turns body weight into daily amounts
A Daily Meals tool that breaks food into easy ounces per meal
A Shopping List that auto‑pulls weekly totals, so you know exactly how much to buy
You don’t have to be a nutritionist or a spreadsheet person. You just follow the steps, watch your dog’s energy, skin, stool, and teeth improve, and over time you’ll know their bowl so well you won’t need the calculator at all.

Raw Feeding FAQ – Your Top Questions Answered
Yes—when you follow basic food‑handling hygiene and a balanced plan, raw feeding can be a safe way to nourish your dog. In the Ancestral Raw Feeding Blueprint™, I walk you through safety basics (thawing, storage, cleaning bowls and surfaces) and give you clear ratios so you’re not guessing. The companion calculator helps keep the overall pattern balanced over the week, which matters more than perfection in every single bite.
Most healthy adult dogs do well starting around 2–3% of their ideal body weight per day, while puppies and very active dogs often need a higher percentage. The Feeding Calculator in this system lets you plug in your dog’s weight and life stage and automatically calculates a daily amount, then breaks it into muscle meat, bone, liver, and other organs so you can build the bowl with confidence.
Often, yes. Premade raw includes the cost of grinding, packaging, branding, and shipping, which can make it more expensive per pound than buying meat and organs yourself. By using the weekly totals and Shopping List in the calculator, you’ll know exactly how many pounds of each ingredient you need, which makes it much easier to shop sales, buy in bulk, and build a plan that fits your budget.
Yes. The Blueprint is written in plain, everyday language and breaks raw feeding into small, doable steps instead of nutrition‑class lectures. You’ll see simple explanations, clear examples, and checklists that tell you exactly what to look for, plus a Google Sheet that turns the “scary” math into normal numbers you can use in your kitchen—daily totals, ounces per meal, and a weekly shopping list.
Read the “why.” Start with the first chapters of the workbook so raw feeding feels safe and makes sense.
Set up your dog. Open the Google Sheet, fill in the Dog Feeding Profile, and choose the feeding percentage that matches your dog’s life stage.
Let the calculator do the math. The Feeding Calculator and Daily Meals tabs show you exactly how much to put in the bowl and how much to shop for each week.
Watch your dog thrive. Use the tracking pages to note changes in energy, stool, coat, teeth, and overall comfort as you adjust.
No. The numbers are training wheels. In the beginning, the workbook and calculator give you clear, safe structure so you can take action without fear. As you watch your dog and learn what works for their body, you’ll rely less on the math and more on your own confidence—and that’s the whole point of this blueprint
How It Works
What the Companion Calculator Does for You
- Clarity on ratios, real‑world portions, and how much to actually buy.
Feeding real, species‑appropriate food sounds amazing—until you hit the math. How many ounces? How much bone? What about liver and other organs? The Ancestral Raw Feeding Blueprint™ includes a companion Google Sheet that quietly does all of this in the background, so you can focus on choosing good ingredients and watching your dog thrive, not wrestling with a calculator.
Understand ratios without doing math
- Turns confusing ratios into real bowls
The calculator takes your dog’s weight, life stage, and feeding percentage and automatically breaks it into muscle meat, edible bone, liver, and other organs—using the same patterns you learn in the workbook. Instead of memorizing numbers, you simply read: “Today my dog needs X oz of muscle, Y oz of bone, Z oz of organs,” and build your bowl from there.r.
See the weekly picture for macros & micros
- Shows the bigger nutrition pattern over the week
Healthy dogs don’t need every single vitamin and mineral balanced in every bite; they balance over time with the right patterns. The calculator rolls your daily amounts into weekly totals so you can see, at a glance, that your dog is consistently getting the right mix of proteins, bones, and organs across the week—not just one “perfect” meal here or there.
Plan DIY raw that doesn’t break the bank
- Helps you plan raw that costs less than premade
Premade raw is convenient, but all that grinding, packaging, and shipping shows up in the price tag—many commercial raw options end up significantly more expensive than buying ingredients yourself. By turning your weekly totals into a clear Shopping List, the calculator lets you compare prices, shop sales on meat and organs, and build a DIY raw plan that often costs noticeably less per pound than many ready‑made raw brands.
You can see exactly how many pounds of chicken, turkey backs, beef liver, or sardines you’ll need for the week, which makes it much easier to stock up when you find good deals instead of guessing and overbuying.
You don’t have to “be good at numbers” to feed raw well. The workbook teaches you the why; the Google Sheet quietly handles the how much, how often, and how many pounds to buy so you can spend your energy where it matters—on your dog.
Meet Your Raw Feeding Teacher
Hey there! I’m Tara…
Longtime raw feeder and dog breeder. I’ve spent years raising and placing puppies and walking families through their very first raw meals, answering the same nervous questions over and over. I created the Ancestral Raw Feeding Blueprint™ so you don’t have to figure this out alone or piece advice together from random social media threads.
Inside the workbook, you’ll find simple explanations, printable checklists, shopping lists, and notes pages you can reuse as your dog grows. The companion Google Sheet turns that guidance into real‑life numbers—daily amounts, ounces per meal, and a weekly shopping list—so feeding raw becomes something you can weave into everyday life, not a stressful science project.
