Wow this thread sure has taken off
I feed all 3 of my babies pretty close to what Sarah described. I feed frozen as well, but my 3 get fed outside - always - since it takes a while for them to eat a meal and I don't want meat 'parts' thrown around my house. Pork and chicken are my 2 biggest meat ingredients, although when my fiance goes hunting, they get game as well. I do feed fish quite a lot as well.
When going over nutrition requirements with 2 different vets, I decided to add in a few different oils to their meals. Dozer's coat/skin has improved VASTLY since he was switched over to an all raw diet at 6 months old. He used to have such dry/flaky skin but now his coat is in excellent condition.
As far as cost/time goes, I do spend quite a lot of time feeding this way. I usually end up spending 3-4 hours Monday nights getting their meals ready for the week. I work and go to college, so I make sure I have the week planned out for them. I do a lot of hand washing as well
Cost is about the same as if we were feeding dog kibble. Dozer is a huge guy and eats a lot. The last time he ate dog kibble was at 6 months old, so I can't really compare what he eats now to what it would be in dog kibble, but it's not cheap to feed him, in the least. My 2 yorkies eat much less, and I'd compare what they eat to about as much as it'd cost in kibble...
