A raw diet is the best you can do for your hounds... I agree, I cannot see why folks will pay $3 a pound for a fancy kibble when you can feed raw for the same or less. The raw is a huge benefit to the dogs, the kibble is over processed dry pellets.

Here is the link to the K9 Kraving web site -- http://www.k-9kraving.com/

I have not read it all but it looks like a quality food.

There was a Mastiff breeder who was producing another high quality raw food for right about $1.00 a pound, but you had to buy about 1000 pounds at a time. That would be good if you could go in with some other people and had some big freezers. Right now I am saving room in the freezer for deer meat since it is still deer season here.

But it does not hurt to learn about the commercial raw diets available.
