I'm thinking about switching over to raw feeding. I like the dehydrated food, but it's too expensive for 3 large dogs. What would you suggest?

Full Question:
Hi,

I'm considering changing my 3 English golden retrievers to this new way of feeding them. I was surprised last night after dinner we had some peas left over so I thought I would see if they would eat it and they all loved it!

These are breeding dogs and are 4 yrs, 3 yrs, and 18 months - all about 60 lbs.

I like the dehydrated idea but I think it is too expensive for 3 - $450 per month is high for me - can you give me some ideas about maybe using both - like could I use the dehydrated a few days a week and then raw the other?

Can you please give me some ideas.

Thanks for your time,
Nan

For the big dogs, we use raw as the base and add the dehydrated like a “side dish” instead of adding veggies.

I don’t do it every day, maybe 4 days a week.

Look here if you have a question on Honest Kitchen. You may get some good ideas.

Here is a Q&A section on raw feeding.

The best books for learning about the raw diet are Raw Dog Food and Natural Nutrition for Dogs & Cats. We give both these books to our puppy customers and rarely have questions about the diet. One of the newer feeding books we offer is Raw & Natural Nutrition for Dogs. This title covers homemade cooked & raw diets complete with recipes. I highly recommend all these books.
