I was feeding Duncan 4 cups a day (split into two feedings) of Eagle pack holistic chicken & Rice for awhile now.
I have played around with feeding him 2 cups in the am and then some raw in the pm such as chicken backs etc.
Due to lack of knowledge and time constraints I stopped that and went back to the kibble.
Then I started looking into pre packaged RAW (natures variety organic chicken)
I bought a 3lb bag of the medaliions and started giving him that as his PM meal while staying on the kibble in the morning.
I want to make sure he gets the proper nutrients he needs and am afraid by mixing like this he will either get too much of something or not enough.
I cant afford to feed him just the Natures variety right now so i figured half and half is better than nothing.
Any comments /suggestions??

I'm new to RAW feeding as well, but I would assume that the prepackaged raw meals are balanced, including ground RMB, muscle meat, and organ meat in a proper % mix. (though I could be wrong..) So I would think that you would be fine balance wise.. I'm not sure if NV has other "flavors" but if they do you might wan to switch them up as a variety of RAW food helps to balance nutrients as well. :)

They have a couple of other flavors but i wanted to try him on this and see how he did. The bag i got contains medallions and if his teeth even touch them its a miracle. He gulps them down so fast. Im going to have to break them up a little I think.

Nature's variety has a coupon for trying their food for free....you can get a 5# bag of kibble or a 3# bag of raw with another purchase...
