I have to laugh... I stopped at the store on the way home from an event this evening for... dry cat food. (I just open the bag and leave it on the porch for the neighborhood cats. There are some pretty fat cats out there.) Turkey was 28 cents a pound, as long as you had a $50 purchase. ($50 is pretty easy to hit.) I'll stop in one night this week for another turkey. I don't use it to replace cat food; but more to supplement it. Though, if they're getting turkey, they're not getting regular cat food until the turkey is gone. I supplemented the dog's food with venison last week. My son and I each got a deer while bow hunting. After cleaning the carcass, there was still quite a bit of meat on it that I don't normally use, because it's fatty or has too much silver skin. So, I tossed the deer carcasses to the dogs. They were in heaven. Son just got another deer tonight, so I'll head over to his place tomorrow to help him grind the hamburg. I'll bring the carcass back & toss that to the dogs as well.

You have been asked but you never post the / these stores with these insanely low prices.

I am not sure what you are trying to prove, but it takes roughly 2-3 years for poor diets to affect a cat / dog usually. Putting them on a turkey/chicken/venison/beef diet for a week(s) at a time then going back to a BALANCED diet can work and safe money.

My local butcher grinds up chicken hearts, necks and backs for me at $2/lb. I use it supplement the rest of their diet.

I also buy beef heart and slice them up small as an additional raw meal.

Supplementation like this is excellent. Also much safer than the china made snacks out there that are totally non-regulated.
