Cheap AND healthy? No. The only way to make your own an ensure it’s healthy for your pets is to get a consultation with a DACVN and then you need to make sure you buy exactly what is on the diet plan for your pet(s). It can be done sure. But it won’t be cheap if you want it to be healthy. You don’t need to pay top dollar for stuff like Taste of the Wild and Blue Buffalo….those are boutique foods that “bank” on you thinking it must be the best to be that expensive. However, most of those types of companies do NOT have veterinary nutritionists on staff to formulate their foods, they do not do feeding trials, they do not make their own food-they send the formula and bags off to a 3rd party to make their food and they don’t test whether the formula is actually providing nutrition that is bioavailable to the dogs and cats being fed. Many of these companies have also been the ones being fed to the dogs that develop nutritionally mediated dilated cardiomyopathy (heart disease caused by the food). You can get a really affordable food such as Purina for both dogs and cats. Iams is pretty affordable too. Both have done extensive testing and feeding trials. I’d trust this over trying to make my own “cheap healthy” food.
