alligande Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I think I finally found a food Mr Picky actually likes, the only problem is I bought it on sale and the other flavors are really out of the budget. The hit was chicken acana, anyone have any ideas for a similar but a little more budget friendly food. I try to stick around $50.00 a bag. I have been feeding different Frooms and he eats them but reluctantly and it takes some bribes as well, he hated the Merck he had last month. In fact the Acana is the first time I have seen a clean bowl in ages. Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Raw? My dogs never turn their noses up for raw food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalahundur Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 One of mine does. "Raw" is not the panacea it is often made out to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligande Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I am not squeamish about food in any way, I am a chef by trade but raw is not currently an option. Even having a friend who is a butcher obtaining meat at affordable prices in my area is challenging, and after spending almost a year cooking for my other dog due to his health problems I am acutely aware of the need to make sure the diet is balanced plus how much i spent on ingredients (even at wholesale prices) I am really not up to the challenge. Plus we are getting ready to move and dealing with frozen meat is not happening sorry Rievulx love you but dried kibble it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip2milou Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I used to feed Acana but I now feed Go!. I think it is comparable price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonetotervs Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I feed a combination of Acana and Fromm's and stretch the food budget by adding sliced carrots (2 pounds for 99 cents, as well as broccoli or spinach leaves). They also get cottage cheese and an egg every so often, plus appropriate left-overs. My dogs all like carrots, so we get the more expensive kibble, and cut costs with fresh veggies and other things added. So far, no issues with upset digestion.
