Bea eats Bravo as well as Healthwise kibble and EVO at about 50% raw, 40% EVO and 10% Healthwise. The only reason she gets any Healthwise is the cost of the EVO

AGREED!
additionally when I had Darla I made my own diet using ground meats, veggies I ground and adding calcium citrate. Here in NH there is a huge scarcity of veggie seconds so we have to buy off the shelf. Plus I have a small freezer. The cost of purchasing the ingredients + the time to buy, prepare and bag it works out to as much or more than buying Bravo all made and boy it's a big load off MY back!
Bea eats 12 oz Bravo, 1 cup EVO and 1/2 cup Healthwise per day. Once she's pregnant/nursing though those amounts will certainly rise- both raw and kibble. And yes we mix the raw and kibble together with no problems. Darla had no problems either
All my babies are started on Bravo finely ground chicken as soon as they start eating :)
