I got the Primal Rabbit and Stella & Chewy's Duck Duck Goose frozen foods for my cat to try.
The Primal is a 1 lb bag for $12. The instructions recommend 1 cup/day for a 10 lb cat. It also says 1 cup has a net weight of 4 oz. So, 1 lb = 16 oz = 4 cups. This $12 bag will last 4 days.....$3 a day, just for one cat!
I know the rabbit formula costs more than the poultry ones. And I'm sure that the bigger bags are a slightly better value than the small one. But still! Three dollars a day for one cat! That is absurd, and a heck of a lot more expensive than canned food!
The Stella & Chewy's calculated out to a little better $2/day/cat, but that's still pricey. How are you supposed to afford to feed multiple cats?
So, why is it purported that raw is cheaper than canned?
