Feeding Your Dog Raw Food on a Budget
As more and more people are deciding to make the switch to a raw diet for their pets, people have been taken aback by the price tag of premade raw pet food. Branded and prepared raw pet food is admittedly more expensive than kibble but by making raw yourself, there isn’t actually much difference in price.
If you still want to save a bit of money when feeding your pets raw, here are some ways to further tighten your purse strings:
Can’t Afford Raw Dog Food?
Feed One Raw Meal a Day, Instead of Two
It has been suggested than just one raw meal a day is just as sufficient as two and can still provide the significant benefits that raw is famously known for. By only feeding one raw meal a day, you are essentially halving the money you would normally spend on pet food. Choose the meal that is most convenient for you and experiment so you can make sure your pet is happy and full.
Make a Meal Plan
Just like you would prep your meals for the week to come, do the same for your pets too. This way, you can get all of the essential ingredients you need and you won’t end up buying things that would only go to waste. If you have lots of freezer space too, you can freeze entire meals into containers and then thaw the night before so you can immediately serve in the morning.
Buy in Bulk
Similarly to the above point, if you have a lot of freezer space, bulk buying ingredients can be extremely cost-effective. If you visit a local butcher, they may be able to offer you some sort of discount if you bulk buy and, at Kiezebrink, we provide frozen raw pet food which means you can buy large quantities that will last longer. Something is better than nothing, so no matter how big or small of a discount you get, you are still saving yourself money.
How To Make Cheap Raw Dog Food
DIY Raw Instead of Premade
Although time-consuming, it is definitely worthwhile to start making your own raw pet food. Not only will your pets appreciate the benefits a raw diet will bring, but your bank account will too. You have the ability to control what ingredients go into your pet’s diet and this budget-friendly method will end up becoming routine to you over time.
