German Shepherd Dog Forums - View Single Post - My Raw diet for upcoming puppy. advice plz

Ok I have put together my diet for the upcoming puppy.

I will be feeding 2 lbs per day split up into 3 meals at
MM-60%
RMB-30%
OM-10%
So that will be 19oz MM, 10oz RMB, 3oz OM per day. I plan to feed my OM in the last meal blended with some MM. I will start with all chicken first, Chicken necks, Chicken breast, chicken liver and then add more variety in several weeks.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around a months worth of raw diet costing the same as a months worth of Blue Buffalo. I can't find any butcher shops or grocery stores that sell at bulk prices or sell me any out dated meat. There is also some kind of law where butcher shop are not allowed to sell left over cuts or organs. So I have been shopping around at reelrawdog.com and can get 40lb of chicken necks for about 40.00 and 6lbs of liver for about 12.00 but all the MM is extremely expensive and I can buy 36 lbs of chicken breast from Sam's Club for 67.00 as opposed to 125.00.

Please give me your thoughts on the diet and also some help on finding a supplier.
