Do you feed raw?

Happy to say I feed raw now. After reading that book I'll never buy another bag of kibble again. Autumn just has a small meal a day of kibble to finish what she has. I'm starting to form worse opinions of owner's who feed processed foods without concern for their dogs' health and I'm definately recognizing health problems in dogs at work who are fed on kibble.

I don't spend any more to feed Finn, who's 85 pounds...than I do to feed Freckles and Dudley, who are both under 30. Finn eats raw, the others eat kibble.

Very cheap. For 50 cents a pound I can buy a 10 pack of chicken legs for 2.50. I make sure its as close to $2.50 as it can get because then I know each leg is .5pounds and I don't have to do any dividing or measuring at home. This is her main meat, costing $15 per month. Organs are cheap. Its less than a dollar for a pound of some other meat I can split into two days. An egg costs 3 cents a piece now and again. I don't do yogurt because Autumn has always gotten regular milk daily, but a big bucket of plain would be a dollar. Veggies and nuts are grated from the human supply at home on occasion. Flax seed, ground, was $1.38 for a big box that should last over a month. So basically it costs me about $20 per month.

not, if you shop right!

I feed crayola about two pounds a day, blended veggies and a calium egg each a day, it takes him two weeks to eat $10 dollars.

I used to spend $40+ junk kibbles on him a month and he's happier ever.

Raw meat just doesn't seem... healthy. I can sorta see giving them cooked meat every now and then.

Like, yesterday for example, my dad made too many hamburgers, so jenny got 1/2 a hamburger ( without the bread ) but it was fully cooked.
