I've been doing raw for 5 months now, bought myself a freezer chest & put everything in large & small hefy & ziplock bags, also have tried the generic's too & EVERY SINGLE TIME they are thawed out, all the blood & juice is all over the refrigerator, does anyone know of a brand that this doe not happen too?

I store everything like that in a 9 by 13 baking pan in the fridge. That way if it leaks, it is contained. I just line the pan with paper towel and rinse when necessary.

I thaw Ziplok bags of raw dog food in the kitchen sink, so whatever runoff there is goes down the drain.
Or, if you prefer to thaw in the fridge, put the plastic bag inside a leak proof container. Buy that container once, then you can go with cheaper bags if you want to, and still won't have to clean chicken juice out of your crisper drawers.
When I was feeding raw I used one of those plastic tubs you keep in the sink to wash dishes. Works great because it is deep enough to be able to spread things out for even thawing.

I love those things. They have a million uses.
That's a great idea. I use a big plastic tray (5" deep) that came in a large cooler to hold food up out of the melted ice.
All dog stuff goes in there (including lightly-used baggies to reuse). Nothing can leak through to any other shelf. I just slide the whole thing out at mealtimes.

I used to have this problem too until I switched to the zip lock (freezer) bags. I have two dog bowls when I make a meal the next bowl goes in the fridge with the zip-lock in it. I have always kept the bag in something because when I'm packing my backs and ground beef off the outside of the bags get contaminated and I don't want that to transfer to my fridge shelfs.
