First, you need to figure out how much your dog should be eating a day. You do this by taking the dogs ideal adult weight and multiplying it by .03 (3%). Chicken is the best meat to stay with, but make sure it isn't enhanced. The very maximum for enhancement is 100mg of sodium per 4oz. Start as big as possible. Try buying a whole chicken, ten figure out how many meals your dog should get out of it (ex. if its a 4lbs chicken and your dog should get 2lbs per day, then monitor your dog and take the chicken away when he has eaten a meals worth.) Starting out you will want to break the daily amount into two servings to help reduce tummy upsets. So to give you an idea, if its a 4lbs chicken and your dogs daily serving is 2lbs, you will monitor your dog and take the chicken away when 1/4 of it is gone (1st meal of the day) then do the same with the second meal, then repeat for the next day. You don't have to measure exactly, so long thatyour dog gets close to what its needs.
The reason to start big is to help prevent the dog from gulping. Some dogs literally inhale food whole, which could cause choking or obstructions. You don't want that!
After being on chicken for a few weeks, you can slowly introduce other meats. Just remember the 80/10/10 ratios. 80% meat, 10% bone, 10% organ (5% of this HAS to he liver, no exceptions). Organs can be offered later of in small amounts.
Good luck! If you have questions, just ask. There are a lot of people here who feed PMR, myself included, that will gladly help.
