How come folks always try to say the keep cost so much is why they gamble so high. To me when I hear folks say this how I eat I run the other way. A good raw diet may cost $25 a week and really most sups are one time buys. For the 6 to 8wks you're hooked that's $150-200. Your blood builder and juice is probably left over from 2 keeps before. If you buy more add $300-350 but most don't even use this stuff cause they don't know how or dnot know of it.. Superfuel, vertex, and RF1 $35-55. Blood work from a vet add another $35-50. On the low end raw diet, Superfuel, and blood work if you do it is $220 for a solid keep and 600 on the high end. If you don't make a living off dogs then 500 puts your money back in your pocket and you go home without the trouble. A 1000 to 2500 on it and you still in the plus. Most will go get a bag of pro plan chicken or Orijen at best that will last almost half if not the whole keep and K9 Superfuel or one of those sups. So $40 to $200. $500 to 1000 not bad at all in this case. Its folks choice to bet what they want to, can, or just stay in the lane that they're most comfortable with. You absolutely have to know your lane.
