why your vet bills keep increasing

I got my cat spayed 6 years ago. If she gets sick she’ll go die somewhere like a cat is supposed to. So I have not and will not notice the increase in vet costs.

Don’t buy much of it.

Use a instapot, cook about 4 to 6 cups of nice, then cook a pound or so chicken, if you cook the rice second in the chicken water better. Then I put chicken in a big bowl while hot and use a hand blender to chop it up as much as possible and add to the rice, then add in a bag of frozen peas, carrots, beans, (mixed veggies) from the microwave and you have instant dog food. (Sometimes we just use Costco Ro rotisserie chicken or something too)

You can use turkey, chicken, beef venison or really any meat just add it to the rice and mixed vegetables. You can freeze it in little bags or so if u want too. It’s good for about 3/4 days in fridge.

I heat it up in microwave, you can add liquid vitamins if you want and bam that’s it.

Probably not cheaper but my dog’s allergies, etc all went away and they are never sick now

Pets aren’t worth that

I can get leg quarters for as low as $.49 a lb., split chicken breasts for $.99 a lb. or whole chickens for $1.25 a lb.

In Petco 2 days ago and saw bagged cat food in there costing anywhere from $3+ a lb. to over $6+ a lb. depending on the brand. That is insane.

I know this for certain-----any time I'm in the kitchen picking chicken off the bone for gumbo, soup or a Tex-Mex casserole, the cat is right by my side wanting as much as I give it to eat. He doesn't do that for that dry crap.

I use a liquid vitamin but I am open for suggestions

I cannot secretly crack and peel a boiled egg with out my pups going crazy.

You aren’t wrong. There is no such thing as freshly grown kibble. Even the expensive food is processed by high heat and loaded with carbs, both of which increase the risk of cancer. I feed the best I can afford for multi-dog home - Victor and Diamond Natural - and know it still isn’t good.

Lymphoma is soaring in dogs. Osteosarcoma is not far behind. I think it’s the food, combined with the chemicals we use to combat fleas and heart worms causing it. One day, I will research and make their food.

I don't know what dogs need, but I know that when I make mine ground lamb and rice he devours it in no time.

My wife's old uncle used ro raise hunting dogs and he swore by Alpo and the other wet stuff
