A Few Questions on Feeding Raw.

[Roxyluvsme13]

4 whole chickens (approx 2.5-4lbs/each) will feed ALL 4 of my dogs 2 meals each. And sometimes I even have a thigh or leg or the like left over after 2 meals.

Raustyk weighs 98lbs
Nanook 75lbs
(they get the bigger chickens)

Kaige 52lbs
Indy 62lbs
(they get the smaller chickens)

They should last a little while then, since Roxy's smaller than Kaige, and Lily's a midget compared to them.

Yeah, I'd say you'd have to split up the chickens between them. If you fed Lilly meat from only one chicken you'd have to freeze it because it would go bad before she could eat it all.

I could just use one chicken and split it between them.. I dunno how they're going to react to the meat though, my mom said Lily won't eat it, but that's what she said about the egg, too ;D.

Kay, I do get a $10 allowance from my grandpa, and I did tell my mom that would take care of a small percentage of the stuff. I'm going to try to start walking some neighborhood dogs if anybody's interested, but I have no idea how to approach that. I can put up posters around the area, but maybe it would be better if I went door-to-door.

Pay for it yourself.


That's what I had to do. My dad was okay with feeding them crap from Wal-Mart (Purina), and was easily convinced to take a step higher and purchase from Pet Supermarket (Nutro). However, feeding them $50/33lb food (TimberWolf) and RAW/BARF diet, was totally left to me.

May proove to be difficult for you since you're jobless, but if you get any sort of allowance whatsoever - save it. Next time you go grocery shopping and start up a conversation about raw feeding - pull out your wallet and tell her you'll pay for it.
