I don't know how it compares cost wise. It all depends on what you buy. I buy from a local source that is somewhat cheaper than when I bought in a store.
It comes frozen and must be kept frozen. I buy in 2 lb chubs. I open one chub and when it is halfway gone, I take another out of the freezer. I have two 15-17 lb dachshunds so you'll have to adjust for the size and activity level of your dog. If you have a natural pets store in your area (like Natural Paws) they can help you with that. |
Thanks for the info. everybody. I checked my dogs weight and she's lost 1.5 pounds....a few more to go.

I sometimes make homemade dog food. Add veggies. Lots of good info online

We put our diabetic cat, Carmello, on a raw diet and he hasn't needed insulin in over two years! His blood sugars are consistently normal.
We also started giving him metholeated (sp) B12 pills and it reversed much of his lower leg neuropathy. I love out vets but all this came from our research, not their recommendations. |
