And lastly where do you go to pick up your meats? A holistic pet store down the road from us has a frozen RAW, but I've heard you can go to your local grocery or butcher. |
Yes, I buy my dogs meat from the same store I buy my own. I try to spend .99 a pound or less on their food. They eat a lot of chicken but then so do we! When starting out, I would start with a bone in chicken breast, remove most of the fat for now as too much fat in the beginning can cause a loose stools. In a week or two you shouldn't have to worry about removing the skin. I would just feed that for a couple weeks and then gradually add more things to the diet. Be careful not to over do liver and organ meat.
Here is one of my favorite links that talks about all the myths you are likely to hear.
