oooo so glad you are thinking about changing! it can be a bit overwhelming at first but like someone else said, get Dr. Pitcairn's book for a starter. That's what i did and made a receipe in there but now i just make up some meat, some veggies and sometimes some whole wheat pasta and i freeze it. Last week i bought about 25 dollars worth of meat and it should last about a month. maybe a bit more... Also keep in mind you need to suppliment when you home cook. The book has a receipe for a suppliement that i use but you can always buy a pre made one. Layla's health has been amazing since the switch and her vet is very impressed! You should get a blood panal done if you are going to do this long term (we just got our first one done after about 6 months of homecooking to check Layla's levels) and everything came back great! if you need any more help you can always PM me
