Do you feed raw?

I spend way more than that,But i'm also in Canada i go to the Butcher here in town and it is costly.

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.

Now here is another question, do you find it costs more than kibble?

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.

yikes. why not?

cooked meat, unlike raw diet raise risk chances - develope gum infections, bladder problems, heart lesions and cooked bone meat often are organ cutters - splinters. sometimes no matter how really you cooked it.
