Barf Patties

[mumtoshelley]

Hi everyone Pebbles has given me details of a barf pattie suplier here in Mildura and just wandering everyones opinions. I have did some calculations what I am feeding now black hawk kibble and raw meat/bones 2 months worth of food I'm spending $320. Now with the barf patties and bones it will be $308 for 2 months worth. What one do you think would be better off? also do I need too feed raw meaty bones everyday or would twice a week be better. The barf patties are doctor B'S aussie raw.

The quick answer is that you should feed whatever your dog does best on!

I feed both and I have found over the years that what suits one does not necessarily suit all.

Factor into it what is best for you too and you will have the right answer for your circumstances.

I'm hopeless at maths which is why I am on the pension I re calculated and found I made a huge mistake, to feed 2 golden retrievers and 1 whippet I will need 8 boxes each box contains 12x227 gram patties. 1 box will last 2 days thats feeding my male golden 3 patties my female 2 patties and my whippet 1 pattie for the whole day, So thats 6 patties for 1 day. Each box costs $24 so thats $192 for 8 boxes, so for just a fornight's worth of food $384. This seems fairly expensive to me so I might feed barf plus black hawk kibble or just stick with what I am feeding now.

As a suggestion, look for Big Dog Barf Patties as they come in a 3kg box (12 x 250gm patties) and retail at $19.95 (rrp) for most flavours. They also have a reward program where they send you a $40 vouchers after you spend x amount, which helps as well. The Big Dog website would have local suppliers listed.

But, as stated earlier, feed what your dogs do best on: enjoyment, overall health, weight and output.
