i know what you mean ...here is what we did, meeting people who raw feed in your area!! we are now forming a co-op of raw feeders who are interested in buying power and info sharing ... we just started our yahoo talk group and we share driving to pick up 800lbs of everones meats then we all go get our share from the person who picked up.... this is just a way to keep cost down and get great meats ... we buy from many sorces now and they are more affordable than kibble by far.. unless maybe you are feeding like "ol roy" lol... in which case you will loose dogs or have high vet bills ... so over the life of your dogs raw feeding pays off....im feeding 3 great danes and a chi and a cat ... im very interested in saving money!! lol darcy

It's quite complicated actually as there are certain things you have to add to the RAW diet to keep them balanced..My suggestion if you want to feed a food like that would be go with an all natural or holistic dry food..I have used taste of the wild and several of the Wellness brands it's pricey but in the long run..So is feeding the RAW diet...Now I do cook for mine more so in winter months or if one isn't putting the weight the on..I like to keep the satin (fat) balls on hand for those as well..I agree do lot's of research on the B.A.R.F diet as it is called...

If it's better for the dogs...then I am all for it. I have a 9 week old chi. I have finally got her off of wet food. My vet recommended Purina one puppy chow for dry. That's what I have been feeding her. I have started to do research on dog food. None of it sounds to healthy. So, I thought I'd ask about raw feeding. Thank you so much for any information.
