I have my boy (130lb Swissy) on BARF.  We switched to it after being on ProPlan for 2 years for various reasons.  The barf diet can sounds intimidating, but it is no more trouble than adding extras to kibble. I had thought about feeding an all-natural "raw" kibble, but it would end up costing me much more. 

I buy my chicken at the grocery store (from 19 cents/lb to 39 cents/lb), and make my own veggie mix (whole eggs, pumpkin, spinach, strawberries, bananas, carrots,collard greens,a little garlic, etc..). I usually mix it with yogurt, a can of fish or ground meat, along with raw oats or rice.   One batch of mix costs about $5, takes less than an hour to make, and lasts for about 3-4 months.  It costs me roughly 30-40 per month to feed my boy (gets about 2.5 - 4 lbs a day).  This is including cod liver oil, coat supplements, kelp, flax seeds, apple cider vinegar, honey, probiotics, and other misc things. 

If anyone is interested, Natural Balance does have a raw food out now.  It is only currently available in California and Neveda.

I always crate with my dog.  We often go to shows, trials, tests, etc.. and its handy to have a crate trained dog.  I'd say most performance, working, or show dogs are crate trained.  

And my dog loves it.  He'll go sleep in it in the afternoons.

I don't have a couch picture.  How about a coffee table picture?
