Homemade cooking can be very easy. Just spend a couple of hours one weekend making meals for the whole week. You just separate them into little bags and freeze. I don't homecook but I think I could find time. As far as price goes...

If you look at the recommended feeding amount of Purina (for example) as compared to Canidae there will be a substantial difference because Purina has very little meat and mostly filler and junk, compared to the good ingredients in Canidae. So, if you base the price of the bag divided by how many feedings you get out of a premium brand, the premium brands are not more expensive. |
Also, Yorkies are so small. I spend anywhere from 9-12 dollars for Maggie's food and 10-13 dollars for Franklin's food. That's only a couple of dollars more than a bag of grocery store food
once a month. To me, it's not that much extra cost but SO MUCH more worth it. My babies are my life so I want them to have the best quality food so that they can be as healthy as possible. If they are healthy, they are less likely to develop more serious complications that could cost much much more later down the road.
