raw feeding and kibble

Question
I have 3 dogs, a 4 year old great dane, a 7 year old boxer who is alerigic to house hold dust and a mix breed who just is getting over a auto immune system disease. a few years ago all my dogs and cats were on BARF, because of some health isues with myself, I had to stop feeding in this manner. I am in the process of changing my cats over again, but as we know cats are tricky and it takes time. My little mix breed that was sick I have changed over to raw that I make myself. I was at a raw food seminar last night with 2 raw food companies. One thing that they said that I did not agree with was that you can feed one meal kibble and the evening meal raw. I was always with the understanding that you should not mix the two. I want to change my boxer and dane over to raw but just dont know if money wise i will be able to do this. Feeding my dane alone 2 meals a day would be expenceive, let alone all my dogs. My question to you, would you suggest one meal a day of kibble and one raw?

Answer
Georgia,

Although I do now know too much about BARF and RAW diet I do know that it is not a good idea to mix the two. I would suggest doing one or the other. Since you have three dogs and yes it is very expensive to feed raw, I would suggest doing some research and switching to a high quality, gourmet or holistic food. If you look back at some of my previous posts you will find listings of good high quality foods that you can feed your dogs. My personal recommendation is:

They only deliver and have a flat rate shipping fee but the food is PHENOMENAL!!! I have my personal dogs as well as all the rescues I have taken in on this food...
