Help needed please!! :)

As some of you will know, I'm considering switching Diesel to raw feeding. I'm still doing lots of reading etc and still feel a little unsure that Im getting it correct.
I emailed a company that will deliver to my area (not sure if I am allowed to mention names or not so sorry if Im breaking any rules - it is Fife animal feeds) and they have sent me a pricelist as I want to work out how much it will cost roughly. Im trying to post their pricelist up but cant seem to get it to work as its a PDF document arrgghhh!!

The woman was very helpful and said that as Diesel is around 22kg he should be getting about 550g a day based on 2.5% of his body weight.

Still a bit baffled though as to what I would need to order and how much it would cost! I'm a bit thick when it comes to working stuff out lol

550g is just over 1lb of meat if thats any help? as i know they tend to sell them as "1lb packs"

entirely up to you what you want to order.. just try and follow the guideline of 80% mince, 10% bones then 10% offal which 5% should be liver.

how are you feeding? are you going to introduce slowly, or go cold turkey?
