I’m thinking of adopting a great dane from a rescue facility and have been hearing about the raw dog food diet. I’m really interested in feeding any future dogs this type of diet. I have done some online research and know the basics but I’m wanting to talk to people who actually own danes and feed a raw diet. I’m mostly curious as to how much more expensive this would be than feeding top quality commercial food (say, $30 for a 40lb bag), the quantitiy usually fed (I know it depends on the dog’s age, amount of exercise, ect) frequency (once or twice daily) and the different types of food fed. I’d appreciate any feedback on this! Thanks!

I recently adopted a dog from a local shelter and they gave me a big box of food – no labels or anything. After it ran out I changed him over to pedigree and he has had nothing but runny **** since. I contacted the shelter and they said that they get food donated all the time and have no way of knowing what it was that we were given. They were little round, flat bits of food. They were very compact… I mean that there was not much dust at the bottom of the bag. That leads me to believe it was a good brand of food such as Science Diet. I would run out to the vets to see what Science Diet looks like, but the vet is a money grubbing pig and would probably charge me $55 for an office visit!
How about Iams? What does that look like?

I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my dog and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog……..

Duh!!
I was feeling a bit crabby so on impulse I told her no, I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn’t because I’d ended up in the hospital last time, but that I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care unit with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV’s in both arms.
Her eyes about bugged out of her head. I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was totally buying it. I told her that it was an easy, inexpensive diet and that the way it works is to load your pockets or purse with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The package said the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try
it again.
I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a tall guy behind her.

Horrified, she asked if something in the dog food had poisoned me and was that why I ended up in the hospital.

I said no…..I’d been sitting in the street licking my **** when a car hit me.

I’ve be transitioning to Primal Dog Food patties. So far there have been no problems but I’m not convinced that raw is the right diet.
