gosh!

D & I went to the PETEXPO this morning. Wow! So many noisy dogs with their clueless owners! We saw so many dogs pulling and pulling on the leash! I really pity the persons walking the dogs...what sore arms they must have had at the end of the day! Also there were quite a number of anxious and stressed out dogs there, probably they are not used to this kind of crowded and noisy environment. The sad thing was, from our observations, we noticed that the owners of these dogs weren't even aware of the conditions of their dogs!

We checked out the 'Freeze-dried raw meat' dog food that I have mentioned in my earlier post. Guess what, the price was incredibly expensive! Their biggest packet 500g cost HKD 250 which makes 2 kg of food after adding water. For Happy's weight, she needs 500-650g of raw meat/meaty bones per day, so their biggest packet will only last her 3-4 meals!!! (Happy eats one meal a day). For 250 HKD, I can feed Happy for half a month with good quality raw meat from the butcher! Talk about being ripped off! -_-

Here's the calculation:

One pkt of freeze-dried = 250 HKD (Exhibition price)

Provides 3 meals for Happy, so one meal is 250 divide 3 = 83.33 HKD per meal per day.

so, for 30 days = 83.33 x 30 = 2500 HKD per month.

For HKD 2500, I can feed Happy for about FOUR AND A HALF TO FIVE MONTHS with real wholesome raw meaty bones from the butcher or the supermarket!
