Since my fiasco with my old apartment, I was able to find a nice place for me and the dogs. However, my monthly expenses have increased.
I don't have a big freezer, so I use my fridge freezer to store the dogs raw food, so I'm not able to buy in bulk. Luckily, I usually do a good job of finding cheap turkey and chicken. However, I have yet to find any beef, lamb, bison, etc that cheap. I can usually find pork for around $2 a pound.. so that's not bad either, but everything else costs $3 and up(more towards the up though).
As much as I don't want to take them off raw, I might have to...or at least partly. I was thinking about feeding evo red instead of buying the raw meat to cut down on costs. I was thinking I would talk to a few local petstores and see if they'll cut me a break if I buy in bulk(since it doesn't have to be refridgerated I can store more of it). And then I would continue to give them the raw chicken and turkey, pork 1x a week, and the other meats every so often.
So here are my questions:
1. Besides Evo what other red meat foods would you feed? I'm not sure if I'm going to use canned or dry yet(it depends on what prices I can work out with the store... maybe a mixture of both).
2. If I was going to mix an expensive food with a cheaper one(I still want only red meats since they will be getting the raw chicken and turkey) which ones would you mix.
3. How would you feed it?
help?

3. How would you feed it?
- Should I feed smaller portions every day? Both at the same time or maybe commerical for breakfast, raw for dinner?
- Should I switch days? Raw one day, commerical the next?
help?
