I've temporarily suspended my raw feeding experiment. I did try the Nature's Variety and it seemed excellent (though pricey). I've learned that I have to do lots more research to find affordable meat sources that will work for me (Manhattan apartment, no freezer, no car). There is a Yahoo group on NYC raw feeding that will probably be useful.

Another discouraging point: Lloyd was thrilled when I brought home kibble. It wasn't even dinnertime, and he's not the most food-motivated dog. I did a whole clicker session with kibble and he worked his little heart out for that stuff. I resisted calling him an ingrate, realizing he doesn't know how far I have traveled and how much I have spent. Sigh.
