Nature's Variety

Anybody feed their dog the nature's variety frozen raw dog food patties? Any issues or complaints?

 

Try a search. This is the biggest poll we've had concerning it....and if you take the time to read it you will find your questions will be answered.

 

The nature's variety prairie brand raw dog food patties. 14rock I couldn't find anything in there dealing with this food. It's the barf diet prepackaged.

 

I used to use Nature's Variety but now I just use Wildlife Beef-fish-Hen. I start out with that stuff, mix in some Xcalbiber over at greentripe.com, then I sprinkle some Alfalfa meal. It's much cheaper than Nature's Variety. The stuff stinks hella bad:eek:, but my doggies love it

 

How much does it cost to feed your dog? How about for a 50-60lb dog?

 

It's a great food. HOWEVER, for one 50lb dog, it will run you upwards of $300 a month for food if you feed those patties solely. If I remember correctly, I priced the amount to feed one of my 50lbs at $95 a week. Sorry, but there are many other healthy ways to feed that's cheaper.....especially for those of us who have many dogs.

 

I never realy tried to figure out.

I always have some solid gold lying around so I can start mixing it in when I start running out of the raw stuff. It's cool cause Greentripe.com is just half an hour drive from my place so I don't need to pay for shipping.

What I'm trying to get right now is someone that can sell me some menhaden fish meal. That stuff would be a very healthy cost effective way to feed my doggies if i can ever find some.

 

Mia- the ones I got include: 8 patties for 16-17 dollars and a 60lb dog takes 2 a day, so not as much as 95 dollars a week. Were you talking about a more expensive version?

Atwater27- Do you gradually start mixing in the raw diet? Any luck on the fish meal?
