Gemy, I'm really fortunate that there are some great local places to get my raw and although pricier than kibble, the vet costs balance out. There is a wonderful woman in Whitby named Lori Dzingala, she's a breeder of Leonbergers and runs a raw feeding business. I came home with 24 pounds of mixed meats and it cost me $60. My friend who is new at raw feeding came along and got an abundance of great information from her. There is also a wonderful dialogue that ensues with customers who talk about previous health issues with their animals and just like you, they and I see the benefits of it.
No it's not a conspiracy, hahahaha, it's big business this pet food industry and animal welfare. Like I always say, GE can probably make you a lightbulb that will last a lifetime, but why would they, there's no money in that. The places I source my meat from are human grade. My Teegy and Tufty have no plaque or Tartar on their teeth and on a kibble diet brushing daily, Teegy had terrible build up happening on his back teeth. What I do have to deal with now that I didn't have before is Teegy whining at me because Tufty is so much slower at eating and when Teegy is done he watches him and moans at me. |
