I agree it would be better to upgrade to an organic and/or naturally fed free range chicken. But an econo-raw program is better that an econo-dry program. The econo-raw is still comparable to some of the high end dry foods.

I do the econo version myself and still feed dry food on occasion. Neither is perfect. One better than the other but one more convenient than the other.

When it is way cold outside like it is now I feed the econo raw version as a normal feeding. Then early evening I make a chicken broth/veggie mix with dry food. Basically it is cheap calories on the colder nights.

Good series of posts.

Hi ewo, im not sure i agree that the econo is better than kibble , eventhough all kibble is heated , because there are some very good quality kibbles out there which don't have the drugs in them like the cheap chicken and other meats have in them, so if i could only afford cheap drug filled meat , i might still be looking at the better quality kibble and then add some other quality extras ,because we do have the info these days on why those chickens are so cheap , and im still not convinced that feeding my dogs meat that is basically poisend and not going to be good for my dogs long term health is a good idea , and if folks can afford to buy bee pollen which is not cheap to add to their dogs feed, then why are they not buying good quality meat rather than cheap discount meat full of drugs, that's completely defeating the purpose of adding other products like bee pollen when the main feed is drug filled chicken , its like a fat man going to the gym to shed some weight then when he gets home eats a tub of ice cream which he thinks is ok because hes been to the gym so psychologically he feels like he not doing anything wrong , which defeats the purpose of going to the gym in the first place .
