Quality Dog food is now off the roof, heck even the low quality dog food is expensive now.

i was never one to cheat out on dog food but the current economy has made me falter.

What i do now is low quality local rice mixed with cray fish waste, fish head or chicken feet. some times chicken liver and intestines mixed with the rice. This method is cheaper than spending about 40k monthly on quality dry food, but its more stressful. You have to take out time to go to the market and prepare the meals.

i am open to learn of more cost effective meals, @Monopoly, is kuli-kuli and grounded groundnut that effective? i am thinking of also mixing it to the rice and crayfish.

Guys, more ideas on feeding will go a long way in giving our pets a good life despite the harsh economic situations.

I've tried these local mixtures of groundnut, kulikuli on my pets and it had no effects. I buy local rice for my pets. I buy chicken parts and store in the fridge when i have money. They usually add weight when on meat, then drop when only on rice.

We used to be in the business of selling chicken parts at a cheap price. Soonest we would be revisiting that aspect of our business and let the whole house know. Our chicken would be mini sized chicken with an approximate weight of 450-500g. Stay tuned

Dogs are carnivores that eat and thrive on meat. They evolved into omnivores after being domesticated. Even at that, they thrive much more better on meat.
As much as we try to cut corners due to cost, and expenses, nothing nourishes them much better than meat. It’s the best source of protein they need to thrive.

We do well by feeding them kibbles, but the only alternative that has been very much helpful for me personally is visiting Slaughterhouses frequently to buy byproducts, this I mix with biscuits and noodles to feed them.

But you must be ready to make friends with butchers and grease many palms to gain favors.

Animal
by-products
are the Inedible such as: hide, fats, bone, ligaments, cartilage, feet, glands, and some parts of the lungs

Don’t ask for names, just tell them for dogs. Simple

what does it cost ?

Depends on your bargaining power
