Feeding a Giant Schnauzer can cost a lot of money. Before I switched Mya to raw food, she was eating about 6 cups of dry kibble. Her bag of food was about $70 and it lasted a month.

With her allergies, I cut out kibble and switched to raw. I first tried the raw meat with veggies and oatmeal, rice etc. But after I did more reading on the subject, I decided to go to meat only. I am lucky that my parents own a grocery store with a butcher shop. They give me the meat that they would otherwise throw out because it is getting close to the expiry date. I don't get it all as I don't get up there every month. It's a 4 hour drive. However, what I do get really helps cut the costs. The only thing I have to buy is the liver to add to her meat. I also buy chicken legs, necks, turkey legs, lamb ribs, fish and almost anything I can find on sale or reduced. She does get bones everyday (in the chicken legs, lamb ribs etc)
Here is a video of what I use to make her mixture. I was able to get 14 1lb bags made today. She eats 2lbs of food a day.

It's been a long time since I have posted about Mya.

Here's a short video of Mya playing with her basketball. The bigger, the better.

Mojo gets a new look


I would like to say Thank You to Cheryl at Gone with the Dogs in Courtice Ontario who groomed Mojo free of charge. It is people like this who make it all worth while.
Mojo is still available. He is currently living at his home, but his owners are looking for a new home for him. If you know of anyone who would be interested in owning Mojo or fostering him, please let me know.
P.S. Sorry Cheryl, I didn't mean to cut your head off in these pictures. It's my lack of photography skills that are to blame!
