As far as cost, I've been aiming at $1/lb averaged. SuperiorDG's chicken neck distributor may cut that down significantly!

Right now, I'm feeding 1% of their body weight twice a day. So Calvin (100 lbs) is $2/day, probably gonna get that lower. The dog food we were feeding was also about $1/lb, but so much more of that turned into poop.

Clodhopper - you expressed a lot of the same points I did when my wife suggested this. What I've learned (I think) is that you're right about the dog/wolf similarity/differences, so there's no roadkill or wild hunts in their diet. Basically, everyone knows that processed foods are bad for people and fresh is better, so why wouldn't that idea carry over to dogs? They get apples and green beans and non-"wolfy" stuff to supplement and provide the stuff that dogs need.

I'm glad there's folks on here who know about this, looking forward to more input (pro or con, I have lots to learn). I told my wife that I'd have an open mind about trying it, as long as she'd have an open mind about stopping if it wasn't right or good for them, so we'll see where this goes.
