There's a pet store in Annapolis that has a whole freezer full of all the raw (Primal, Stella & Chewie's,etc) and I *almost* bought a bag of the medallions. But I'm just so clueless!
I'm so happy for Remy!  |

I initially did not think the expense was too bad; I was able to get a bag of NV medallions (these are the 1 oz sizes) for $14.00. Rem eats 4 per day (4 oz), so at 48 per bag that is 12 days of food at about $1.15 per day.
BUT today I just went to the store and the same bag is now $22! Apparently NV has had a big $$$ increase. So, his food costs $1.80 + per day (in addition to the carrots and green beans he gets).
If you buy a larger portion size - the patties are 8 oz and are 12 per package, that is $38.00. For me this brings the average cost down to $1.60 per day...and Remy gets 2 days out of 1 patty
Based on NV's online calculator Jackson would probably eat around 8 oz per day (16 lb very active dog) and that would get pretty costly
Jack's son Jason feeds their Malti-poo a combination of NV Raw and kibble. He gets 2 medallions per day and the rest is kibble. They said his digestive system has been fine....so it may work ok for Jackson!!
