You see it's kinda like this, we enjoy fresh good stuff in our lives... would you rather have a cold home made beer, or a can of the cheapest beer around? we believe the fresh raw chicken and veggies are far healthier for dogs...Our puppers are at ideal weight, great coats, great white teeth! Our vet agrees with our recipe,( chicken quarters (bone and all) potatoes, yams, carrots, yogurt, pumpkin, chopped greens) close to what she feeds, it also coasts less than the BETTER kibbles too! We make up about 75 pounds monthly.... feeds are 2 and a friends to for about 5 weeks, we store in freezable non-disposable containers in a dedicated freezer... just to give you a better read on us... our daughter spent her diaper time wearing cloth diapers, she and her husband have there daughter in cloth as well, we get tons of produce all summer from a CSA (consumer Supported Agriculture), our Beagle is a therapy dog in a nursing home, our Border Collie herds sheep, we also have a 68 bug that we take turns driving yup 46 years old.... we also make our own seltzer... why keep bringing home expensive bubbly water?
