Hey DH - you gave a tremendous list of suggestions (and so did everyone else). There is no longer after reading all this any reason for someone to say that eating raw is too expensive.

But my point DH is about giving the fiber from your juicing to your dog. From everything I understand about the dog digestive tract that's a bad idea. They have a very hard time digesting carbohydrate fiber even in a whole fruit or veggie. My vet says that I need to blend into liquid my dogs veggies and fruits so that they can digest it. My doggies get some of my smoothies, but not whole veggies and fruits and never plain fiber. They are all raw like me but carnivorous types.

I can't dig up a bone out of the yard and eat it without dying an early death because I'm not a carnivore by nature and they can't eat produce fiber because they aren't fruitivores by nature.

If you have rabbits it would be the ideal food for them though. They can eat the fiberous bark off of trees and live on it!

That's my take on it. Thought I'd drop that in.
