1. which premade raw would you recommend? I've only used Nature's Variety. I normally feed venison and rabbit, but we've tried them all and I'll occasionally feed one of the others.

2. How expensive do you find it to be? Rabbit is about $15 a bag (3lbs - 48medallions), Venison is about $13 a bag. Turkey/Chicken is the cheapest at a little over $10 a bag.

3. How many medallions do you feed per feeding and how many times a day do you feed? I feed Lacy (7.5lbs & moderately active) 4 medallions a day. She gets two in the morning and 2 in the evening.

4. does your dog seem to like it more than kibble? YES YES YES!!! When I fed her kibble, I'd put it in her bowl in the morning and she sometimes wouldn't touch it until the evening. She was never excited about eating. Now she waits at my feet while I'm getting her food ready and she gobbles it up as soon as I set it down.

5. How long can you leave it in their dish if they don't eat it right away? I've seen about 30 minutes. Lacy always gobbles hers up. The only time she ever doesn't eat is if she has an upset tummy.
