    Finally (Hopefully) Getting Started Making Food... Checking Ratios, Supplements, Etc.

    Thanks! I was pretty sure that was the case, but it doesn't hurt to check. I also don't think my previous response was worded 100% clear. When I said "supplement amounts," I meant the Fish Oil/Vitamin E/B/Taurine/Lite Salt. Every recipe I read up on supplements differently, but they never...

    Finally (Hopefully) Getting Started Making Food... Checking Ratios, Supplements, Etc.

    Thanks, you two! :) So redoing a bit of math, this follows that a bit better: Name Cost Cost / Unit Amount Needed Cost / Needed Beef Trim 22.19 / 5lbs 4.44 / lb 1.5 lb (24 oz) 6.66 Pork Trim 17.49 / 5lbs 3.50 / lb 4.5 lbs (72 oz) 15.75 Pork Hearts 13.49 / 5lbs 2.70 / lb...

    Good to know about the knife. I'll have to look up a diagram, but that sounds pretty straightforward. About the grinder- oof. I was thinking about maybe taking a hammer to the larger pieces first anyways to "soften" them up a bit? (Ya know, the old "plastic bag wrapped in a towel, then start...

    Finally (Hopefully) Getting Started Making Food... Checking Ratios, Supplements, Etc.

    Hello! I’ve made a couple posts here before with questions, and I feel that we’re now in a place where we can actually work on this diet for Diana (as soon as we dig out the freezer and buy a couple things). I’d just like someone to check over my final recipe I made, to check the...

    Advice on Recipe / Couple Questions

    Hi! I made a post earlier this year about switching my girl with allergies to raw, and I’m finally getting around to actually doing it (I would’ve before now, but life is a mess, etc). I have a rough recipe lined up with where I would source everything, but a couple things don’t feel quite...

    Need Advice- Cat with allergies, lots of questions.

    I actually have looked at commercial raw in the past, but pretty much every brand has something she's sensitive to in it (just trust me on this- I've been doing the elimination diet thing with her for years now- it's ""fun"").

    Need Advice- Cat with allergies, lots of questions.

    I saw Hare-Today listed before, but I never really "trusted" the idea of sending meat through the mail. Turns out they're actually less than 2hrs away from me, and you can go there to pick it up instead of shipping. Neat! That pre-mix also looks really helpful. I will definitely keep that open...

    Need Advice- Cat with allergies, lots of questions.

    Hi! I was directed here from another site where I was asking questions about starting a raw diet for my cat Diana. They answered a couple of them, but then sent me over here. To make it a little easier, I'm just going to copy my post from over there: "Hi! I've been looking in to a raw diet for...
