I bought Diamond dog food for 26.00 for a 40 pound bag yesterday. I thought 
that was a good dead. I do from time to time cook for the dogs but I would 
never consider it as their total diet. A great treat and it makes me feel good. 
:0)  I might drive in and talk to the local butcher and see what I can find out 
about raw.

Hi Guys, ok new subject:
Cooking for your dogs.  Now for the sake of work/cost variables , I am
talking to people that own or
house 4 or more dogs, large to jumbo sized.  Any age.
As I see kibble prices SOAR (Eagle Pack is up even at our super family store
over 30% in 6 mos)
and I can only imagine this is true with many?  I also can imagine that
kibble manufacturers of all types are
looking to add more fillers, less quality proteins, and cut costs, esp with
meat prices going up.
This is NOT a food war, please.  This is NOT a RAW feeders discussion, that
is another topic.
Who cooks for their dogs? As an adjunct or as a diet , complete?  What do
you love about it?  What do you hate?
Suggestions.   What NOT to do, what you should do?
I am reminded of a GSD owned by an elderly lady in our neighborhood , when I
was a child.  Every two days she
killed one of her chickens (she lived on about 36 acres) took fresh veggies
from her garden, boiled them all in a
big stock pot...and that is what her dog ate...for his entire 14 years.  He
was gloriously healthy, shiny, and robust.
I always was fascinated by that.

I am considering cooking large batches of chicken , veggies, etc for the
dogs as an adjunct to the kibble.
Ideas, stories, welcomed.
