Have you been curious about transitioning to a raw feeding diet for your pet, but the costs have been holding you back? We understand how overwhelming it can be to think about the price tag of raw food, but don’t let that scare you away. We’re excited to share some fantastic tips and tricks to make raw feeding not only feasible but also not break the bank.

Shopping a Bulk Brand
Shopping bulk brands can really help bring the cost down per pound! When companies produce food in larger quantities, it allows them to optimize their manufacturing processes and reduce overhead costs. This means big savings for consumers! Brands such as Albright’s and K-9 Kraving are fantastic examples of how bulk offerings can make raw feeding much more affordable. Both brands have dedicated themselves to providing high quality nutrition without breaking the bank, making it easier for pet owners to feed their furry friends a healthy diet.
With the brands mentioned above, you'll notice that larger package sizes tend to be the most cost effective option! We highly recommend opting for the largest roll and case to get the best bang for your buck. However, we understand that this can be a bit of a hassle if you have a smaller pet. A great tip is to partially thaw the roll, just enough to run a knife through it, and then repack it in freezer bags or containers. This way, you can conveniently grab portions throughout your busy week without any mess.

Shopping Store Deals
If you’re a frequent shopper at Raw Rations, you might’ve noticed we love sales! We always feature two brands of the month: one dry food brand and one frozen food brand. This initiative is designed to promote rotational feeding and to introduce you to higher quality options for your furry friends. To make it even better, we offer a special deal on these brands to help you test them out. It's a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of a lower price point while enhancing your pet's diet with nutritious choices.
On top of that option, our Astro sales will sometimes offer deals on frozen food as well. To take advantage of our store deals, our monthly newsletter is the most effective way to hear about them. We also have banners on our website, which will also showcase our brands of the month and their deals. Be sure to stay on top of those deals and take advantage of them.

Adding In Small Portions
Raw feeding isn’t all or nothing. In fact, you can start seeing benefits with just 20% of your pet's diet consisting of raw food. It’s an exciting way to boost your furry friend’s health without overwhelming yourself or your budget. A simple and affordable approach is to switch a small percentage of your pet’s usual diet to raw.
You could consider buying individual rolls from a bulk brand and portioning them into smaller amounts for easy feeding. Alternatively, you can choose from nuggets or patties from smaller batch brands. You will see a price difference between bulk brands and commercial brands, but sometimes the convenience is worth it. Companies like Steve’s, Primal, and Tucker’s make it super convenient to incorporate raw food into your pet’s meals with their manageable portion sizes. It's a fantastic way to enhance your pet's nutrition while keeping their mealtime exciting!
Feeding raw is an exciting journey tailored just for your pet! We’re thrilled to make bringing fresh, wholesome food into your pet’s life simple, affordable, and fun.
