I am relatively new to the Raw diet and have recently started my puppy on Raw ..... So how much do you spend a week? What do you feed? Where do you get the meat? And any tips welcome !! I have started my pup on chicken carcasses and minced chicken.

Thank you :)
 
£15- £20 a month for one 28kg dog
Minces (beef/lamb/chicken/ and an offally one) / raw meaty bones/tripe/ lamb breast/chicken wings or necks/trotters/ tails and the odd bunny

Get it from The Dog Food Company
 
The cost has gone up slightly recently so probably about £50 a month - this feeds two large breed dogs with a variety of meats, bones and offal. I make homemade treats with the liver or heart (just chop up and bake at a low temperature) and get free marrowbones, spine, ribs, etc. from a local butcher.
I buy from The Dogfood Company, suppliers like this can be a lot cheaper ways to buy but relies on having freezer space to store it all - Scott only delivers once every 4 weeks to me so I had to invest in a chest freezer to store it. Saved me a fortune though as I was spending £120 a month at the supermarket, and that was buying lots of value brands and reduced meats!
 
About 80 for three dogs 2x40kg and 1x25kg I do spend too much and never empty the freezer am looking to cut down tbh as think I am £20 over in meat tbh and cud push less as get pork for nothing.
 
Um, about a fiver for 10kg of chicken carcasses and £3.70 each for a bag of minced tripe and minced whole chicken (they throw the whole birds in) every two months, so whatever that works out at.
If he doesn't have chicken will take beef chunks, ox tails, lamb or beef hearts or whatever he has in.
Bones are free if I buy sausages or something from the butchers and I pick up cheap livers in Tesco bargain bin every once in a while.
My guy supplies to the greyhound racing industry, it is worth making a few contacts there!
 
About £80 a month for three big dogs. Use Landywoods. Could do it cheaper if I sourced at butchers etc but I'm lazy and like the convenience of packaged foods
 
About £15 on chook carcasses (I have 3 large dogs - 2 @ about 50KG's, and one at about 25kg's)
Couple of pounds on natural live yoghurt and cottage cheese - which they have a bit every few days or so.
Same on eggs - again once or twice a week.
About £5 on vegetables - carrot, spinach, peppers, parsnips, beans, etc no onion, mushrooms, or potatoes. I juice them together and freeze in ice cube trays. I try and feed an equal mix of above and below ground veggies, and they get a cube every couple of days. I also give them fruit - apples, strawberries, melon, oranges etc (not grapes, or apple pips)
Bones I get free from our local butcher - not beef leg bones as they are too tough for teeth, but ribs, trotters, spine - usually lamb, or pork.
I also buy them liver, hearts, kidneys, meat chunks - anything thats on offer in our supermarket so thats another £20 a month.
For additives - seal oil as they're working arctic sleddogs, cod liver oil, kelp for their coats, and brewers yeast - so another £15 a month. But you don't need to feed suppliments

So that's about £40 -45 a month excluding additives.

If you have any questions, just PM me :D
 
I get a month's delivered at a time from Durham Animal Feeds.

For two large dogs I spend around £50 - £60 a month (any less than £50 incurs a postage fee).

I could make it cheaper by trawling butcher's shops etc, but it's much easier to just get it all neatly packaged and delivered to my door.

When I go down to just one dog in the next few months (:() I will just order every other month instead.
