Laura,

I try to keep to <$1 per pound for RMB's. assuming that you feed %3 of
the dogs bodyweight per day you would be looking at about
8.64lbs/day....

So $9/day x 3 days = $29.

If you were feeding kibble...say Canadae all life stages going by the
recommended amounts on the website your requirement per day would be
about 3.5 lbs. I think it comes in 40 lb bags so you would have to feed
about 3 bags per month. So (assuming $60/bag) that would be ~$180 per
month as opposed to $240/month feeding raw (at $1 per lb).

I know this is a bit more money but you will more then likely save on
vet bills. If you can get below the $1/lb mark it is very possible to
make feeding raw cheaper then the premum Ki*le.

Well... Thats my rant, For me with two Great Danes the price is almost
the same. After seeing the health benifits of feeding the prey model
diet I dont think I will ever go back to kibble.

Cheers,

Ross Senger
