Besides one Yorkie, I also have a 75# Akita and a 30# Beagle plus 2 cats lol
I started with the medallions because they're the easiest to portion out (especially for a Yorkie or other small dog or a cat). Now that I'm getting used to each of what their individual amounts looks like, I can get the more economical chubs. (I may even get a little kitchen scale to help me)
The medallions are 1 oz. each and there's 48 in a bag for around $20. The chubs are 32 oz. for about $8. So, the chubs are less $ per oz., but it's a little trickier to figure out the portions without a scale. The only other thing about getting the chubs, you have to be sure you'll use it all within 3-4 days of thawing the whole thing (I will with my little zoo here
) unless you can figure out a way to cut it while frozen, but good luck with that lol.
I'll just use Alice for an example to give you idea - Alice weighs 5 lbs. and is still growing so she gets 2 oz. (or 2 medallions) in the AM and aprox. 1/4 cup of the grain-free kibble PM.
Sooo, for a 5 lb. Yorkie, if you fed ONLY the raw, 1 bag of medallions would last about 12 days at aprox. $20.
You can imagine this would get $$$$ feeding my crew, especially the Akita, so that's why I use the kibble for one meal, it's cuts the cost greatly (the kibble is actually cheaper than the Orijen I was using and they seem to like it better). Cost is also why I was originaly going to go with prey-model, but for right now, that's too much work, I'd rather pay the extra $ for it to be easy
LOL, I feel like a NV sales rep LOL, they should really give me a job. hahaha
