Raw feeding three dogs of different sizes

Transitioning three dogs of very different sizes and builds to raw simultaneously is genuinely ambitious — and the size spread you have, from a Pug to a Greyhound to a Malamute, means you're dealing with three completely different caloric needs, portion sizes, and one dog with a flat face that affects how he chews and processes food. Raw feeding done well can be excellent, but done badly it creates nutritional gaps that cause real harm over time, and the difference is balance and sourcing. Before I point you in the right direction: have you fed raw before, even with one of them? And are you looking to prepare meals yourself, or would a complete ready-made raw option make more sense given you're managing three dogs at once?

That's the right instinct for a first-time raw feeder with three dogs — DIY balancing is genuinely hard to get right even for experienced owners, and with three dogs you'd be managing three separate meal plans from day one. What I'd recommend is Natures Menu Country Hunter Raw Nuggets. They're a complete, nutritionally balanced frozen raw food that comes in small frozen nuggets, which makes portion control across very different sized dogs much more straightforward — you're just counting nuggets rather than weighing out mince and calculating organ ratios. They're available in multiple proteins so you can rotate, they meet FEDIAF nutritional guidelines, and crucially for your Pug, the nugget format is manageable for a brachycephalic dog who can't easily handle large chunks. You'd be feeding roughly 4–5 nuggets per meal for the Pug, scaling up significantly for the Malamute and Greyhound based on their weight and activity level — the Malamute in particular will need careful monitoring as they're a working breed with a higher energy demand.

Yes, worth knowing. Greyhounds have unusually low body fat and a lean muscle mass that means they can lose condition quite quickly if underfed, so you'll want to be precise on portions and monitor their weight closely in the first month of transition. They also tend to have sensitive digestive systems, so transition slowly — introduce the raw over 10 to 14 days rather than switching overnight. With the Country Hunter nuggets, starting with a 25% raw / 75% current food split and shifting gradually gives the Greyhound's gut time to adjust without causing loose stools. The Pug and Malamute will likely adapt faster, but pacing the transition to the slowest adapter is the safest approach when you're doing all three at once.

Legitimate concern — three dogs at those weights will go through a meaningful volume of food. A rough guide: you're feeding around 2–3% of body weight daily in raw, so your Malamute and Greyhound together are consuming close to 2kg of food per day between them, with the Pug adding maybe 180–200g. That's roughly 15kg of raw food per week across all three. Natures Menu Country Hunter comes in 1kg resealable bags of nuggets, which stack efficiently in a chest freezer — most owners in your situation use a dedicated chest freezer, which you can pick up secondhand for very little. You thaw what you need 24 hours ahead in the fridge, so day-to-day handling is manageable. It's a real consideration but not a dealbreaker once you have the storage sorted.

Good plan. Start with one protein — chicken is the most digestible and a sensible starting point — and keep everything consistent for the first four weeks before you introduce variety. Weigh all three dogs before you start and again at weeks two and four so you can catch any condition changes early. The Malamute especially can mask weight loss under all that coat, so hands-on checks along the spine and ribs matter more than visual assessment. You're doing this the right way by going complete and ready-made first — you can always build toward DIY prep once you know how each dog responds.
