I leave instructions for the people watching them...not hard.

And if I did go out and took them, then yes...ask me how hard that is! What do you think people in the show ring and competitions do that feed RAW/BARF?

And in the very slight chance that the hotel does not have a fridge, then, you can do kibble. But that rarely happens. It's called planning ahead and being responsible imo.

We've been on it a month, hasn't taken anymore time than we would have wasted watching tv or something. All your prep can be done on the weekends, or an off day. In total, prepping food, we have maybe 2 hours for a months worth of food, not too bad if you as me...now if you can honestly say that you can not find the time to do this, then don't consider it. It's that simple...sort of like wanting a fast truck, but not willing to wrench on it! Namsayin?

That was the whole point of me doing it, they were always having issues, one way or another, and I got fed up with it. I literally fed my dogs benadryl 2-3 times a week.

I don't want to come off as rude, just like to clarify and clear things up. It isn't for anyone, but it seems the majority who oppose it do it out of ignorance or laziness. Until I show them how easy it was/is.

I am having a big dilemma here that I cannot find on forums. No one seems to be advising or NOT advising to buy the meats from a local grocery store. Not necessarily the proteins that will be introduced after the first couple of weeks, but like the poultry.

For instance, the first two weeks I am going to do chicken leg quarters with some random combination of stuff at night. But NO WHERE do i read to not buy from a grocery store like HEB or some mexican place around here.

They have a local raw fed co-op here in Austin but I really want to start the diet tomorrow for him, and I don't think I can begin to purchase stuff from there for a few days.

Yeah there is a couple places over here I will check out. I just didn't want to opt into this Raw Diet Co-Op here and not have a place to put like 50lbs worth of meat haha
