Since August we've been doing one kibble meal and one raw per day. This past week we switched to allll raw . I started noticing little differences when we started adding the raw meat into his diet, but HOLY COW in one week he's gotten even softer and no more stinky breath!! I'm thoroughly convinced this was the right decision and just hope it's doing as many wonderful to his insides as what's showing on the outside.
Thanks to so many people here for helping me, I can't wait until after Thanksgiving to stuff the freezer with cheap turkey!!
Last year I got some for sub-$.50 a lb. I really think I paid $.39 a lb., but I don't want to lie to you.
Oh boy I hope I'm that lucky!!

Conrats Jennifer. I can honestly say, the enthusiasm and feel-good aspect of feeding raw never does really wear off.
Yay!!
Thanks to both of you as you've been VERY helpful in answering all my silly questions and helped me to get on the right track.
It really hits home when I feed the foster science diet and it's just a quick scoop dump compared to the extra time I spend to add supplements and mix everything together. Especially when they're finished and I look at the empty greasy bowl of science diet, and the licked clean bowl of REAL FOOD.
I picked up some $.38/lb turkey last night. The store also had a package of turkey necks and pork necks which I could not resist. Misty scarfed down the turkey neck this morning without any issues. I also put a whole egg in the bowl which she did not seem to thrilled about. Misty has been eating raw for a couple days now.

GASP!!! You DO NOT feed the poor sweet foster SCIENCE DIET!!! Of all the possible foods to feed him! Even Purina would be an upgrade. Well, maybe it would be a tie.
If you MUST feed that poor dog kibble. At least switch him to something with real meat in it.
Anyway congrats on going all raw! That is something I haven't done since I've had one dog. (The cheapest chicken neck price, for instance, is $1.10/lb). But I plan on doing it again soon since my youngest's teeth are getting brown....

Cost is an issue for those in northern climes, eh? I see that a reminder is neccesary once in a while.
The only reason I'm going to actually PAY MONEY for any food from now until about March is for the sake of a little variety. You can't be afraid to get your hands covered in blood and feces, people. Or just be careful and wear gloves.
I've come across two fresh victims of reckless deericide in the past two days alone.

Speaking of variety, my sister found cans of sardines and cans of mackerel in a "Family Dollar Store" (this may be the actual store name, or maybe it's just "Dollar Store") for -- yes -- one dollar.
And on an end-cap in a discount drugstore last week I found large cans of wild salmon for $1.

Try cracking the egg, it helps them get started. With eggs one of my dogs eats the shell and the other doesn't.
That is a great deal on turkey. I usually wait till after Thanksgiving. I did see some deals this last week but all of the Turkeys were injected with the saline brine solution.
