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.
