Thank you for your reply. Perhaps your suggestion would work in a normal household where there are a couple dogs and cats, but I have several rescues — at least 10 of each, so the suggestion of buying organic food and cooking my own is just not feasible for me at this time.

I am sorry you got laid off and hope you’ll find another job soon….
I understand that you have to save money on everything. I believe you might find it cheaper to prepare foods for your dog at home instead of buying a commercial food. If you are concerned about ‘balancing’ your dog’s diet then you can add a quality mineral vitamin supplement (which is certainly better than what is in most ‘balanced’ commercial dog foods). If you buy organic and serve raw, you may see your pet will need less food because she’ll receive more nutrients. You can share your food with your pet – cut off the meat that you want to eat and give your pet the rest (just don’t cook the bones for your dog or cat). Share some of the vegetables and fruits you eat with your pet. If anyhow possible, I’d stick to (certified) organic food. Coop stores and farmers markets offer affordable organic products, which are also locally grown.
