Part of that is the greater care it takes to sterilize food without cooking it--it's difficult, but it can be done. And the greater difficulty of nutritionally balancing "raw" dog foods since the potential list of ingredients is smaller. And insurance and liability issues too, I imagine. And many of them are small start-ups and can't afford to have a nutritionist on staff. There are a few commercial raw dog food companies that are good--I researched this earlier this year--but their foods are definitely more expensive.
| Oh I wasnt talking about welllness. I am talking about the 45$ per 12 cans of wet food ones which I know very little off. I also do not wabt to feed raw. My mother has lupus, I don't want high risks of contamination to occur.
I am just looking for foods that are pate, a cheaper price but still excellent, basically I am trying to stretch my dollar without compromising quality, because I'd rather use that money I save from the cans on a good health insurance for my little princess.
I want her to have good tasting food that will be both good for her and easy to eat.
I am looking at wellness basics and wellness balanced or whatever it was. Or hill's science diet, or some other brand that is on top of the recalls like that other kind poster said in this or another thread. A brand I can trust.
ps. also thinking between venison, duck, lamb, chicken, turkey, or fish. I am thinking of two so she can have slight variety. |
