Frugal ways to feed your pets/livestock

was I deleted because I tried to explain I meant no harm ??????????
All I did was mis read

fine you misread.let's drop it okay? now if the person who asked about cats has a question.i'll try to answer as best i can.

maybe they meant can you feed your cat a non-commercial diet? i have heard of people giving cats fish and what not kinda similiar to the way my vet started my dog on his diet.

that's why i hope they will elaborate.i have two feral cats we bought in,and one from a pet store.so maybe i can answer any questions they might have.

A few years back when there was the huge dog food scare I started feeding my basset boiled chicken and rice, and then feeding him veggies a few times a week. After that he refused to go back to eating regular dog food. So now that's what I feed him.

My cat however, refuses to eat anything other than his Purina cat food. So, I'm stuck on that one.

Try getting a membership to BJ's if you have one near you. I always see they have Pedigree dog food on sale. 50lb bag for $25.

$25 for a 50 lb bag is a good deal for my dog's meat diet i was also told to check out aldi's (i know it is also mentioned on a thread in this board). i usually use canned veggies, which are really cheap at wal mart.
i know my aunt's cat is pretty fussy with food, too but she's all drama anyway i do know one of my neighbors feeds her cats non-commercial food but am not sure exactly what she feeds them.

Hi: I am the one that asked the cat question. I have two indoor kitties and was wondering if/what could I feed them like the person above does with her dogs?.

do they have food allergies?if not then IAMS does make a formula especially for younger cats.if so what allergies do they have.like what can't they eat?

im lucky enough to not have any pets that have allergies but i have VERY active dogs that are on a left overs diet and whatever they kill in the yard!LOL seriously they kill anything that enters this yard and not because they are hungry but they are extremely territorial. Even though i do have a automatic dog food feeder outside they rarely eat from it scince they usually get whats left over between my house and my parents next door. They have a indoor cat that eats alot of rice and chicken everynow and then they cook it up and freeze it for her. she also gets fish on a regular basis in the summer they save it for her when they go.

My son also has a hamster and to save on the hamster food (even though its pretty cheap)when we have salad in the evenings he LOVES lettuce and carrots. He escaped last week only for me to find him nibbling on a tomato in my kitchen.

^^ when i was a kid i used to feed my guinea pigs fresh veggies

I think he's smarter than he looks...
