So duchess has been on raw for about 6 weeks, natures variety frozen, but due to cost I am switching to home made raw. She has a slight chicken allergy and I know this is the protein many people recommend.
she is a gulper so I don't trust her with chunks, she swallowed a 4" turkey neck whole before, so I will be purchasing ground meat until I invest in a grinder for home.
My thought is to use barf model but mimmick the ingredients/recipe on the bag of natures variety. I will purchase ground protein, bison, beef, turkey, lamb, etc. add minimal fruits and veggies(apple, cranberries, kale,etc), she also loves sweet potatoes so I will mix some of those in also as they are very inexpensive, organs, and muscles. But my question is how do I get bone? What can I use to give her the bone she needs? Also do you guys think a butcher would be willing to grind up bone? I also will continue,with her probiotic, salmon oil, and coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar. I'm currently spending $60-$80 per week on pre-packaged raw depending on the protein. If I can reduce this cost to $30-$40 per week I will be super happy. I'm currently feeding her 1.5lbs per day. She is 6 months and 41lbs +/- 2lb. Well defined with a nice waist. Any input will be greatly appreciated!
