Sometimes when I talk to people about raw food at work they take a look at a package of raw food and quail at the price. Let us just get this right out here in the open. Raw food IS more expensive than kibble and can be more costly than canned on a pound-per-pound basis. There’s one important thing to keep in mind, though and that is that because it’s much higher protein than either kibble or canned and much, much healthier for your animal (because it most closely resembles their natural diet) they’ll likely eat less. When you eat more nutritious foods and higher protein ones, you eat less than you do of, say, french fries or ice cream. Also, a higher protein content means you’ll stay fuller for longer and need to eat less often!
Ziggy continues to do well. According to the scale, she’s shrinking little by little. We’ve been rotating around and she continues to enjoy her meals, eat heartily, and seems satisfied with the amount of food she’s getting.
