raw food- how much does it cost?

TegansMyBoy

I am just curious about raw food diets for dogs. I have always been under the impression it would be astronomically expensive for me to feed my corgi and great dane this way, especially as a college student who only makes a couple hundred a week, but what is the price range we'd be talking?
I already spend $95 or so a month on the best kibble i can afford that agrees with both of them... so it can't be THAT much more, or can it?

I was talking to a lady that boards her horse where I keep mine about dog food and she has been feeding hers raw for years and raves about it... so it got me thinking about it again...

They are doing great on Taste of the Wild, but I'm just wonderingggggg... lol

I feed my two dogs on a raw diet.
They get chicken mince, beef mince, chicken necks, pig trotters etc etc, I stay away from some things because of the bones in them!
They've been on a raw diet since they where born, obviously being on mum first! ha ha!
With their breakfast i mix some dry food (bonnie/hills) and tuckertime puppy to make sure their getting all the goodness they need, because raw food doesn't always have all they need!

I get my beef mince free (it would only cost from a pet shop for me around $1.50 a kg) my chicken mince is the same price, bones i get from $2 a bag and they have HEAPS of meat on them, Trotters, necks etc are under $5!

I weaned a litter onto raw meat and they did amazing! I travel with my dogs a lot so i had to switch to a kibble but every once in a while they receive raw beef an beef bones to chew on.
