My parent feeds their cat only chicken breast. That cat gets more money spent on its food than I do daily averaged over a whole month. Taking into account kitty litter and toys, and feeding of other critters, I am disgusted with human beings yet again.

This. My dog costs easily $300/mo in food, and prorated vet bills each year. My previous dog had a bill for one drug that was $200/mo at the time.
Meat from stores is not terrible quality unless you are in some third world country with flies on hung meats.

If you want farm animals, go ahead and get some. People like to keep chickens for eggs, doves, goats and all kinds of items to slaughter occasionally. Not for me. But, you can also buy a side of cow, and put it in your deep freezer to save a bit per pound.

Purina Pro Plan.
Don't be retarded with all this natural fag shit and raw food nonsense. Some of that can be used as treats for training or supplements if they are sick or have strange allergies. Help stomach upset with lean meat like chicken breast and rice. For 95% of your feeding you should use a leading brand from certified vets and I think only a few brands are. Royal Canin, Purina Pro Plan, Science Diet, and maybe one more? I've fought issues for years with sperm count, fertility, diarrhea, UTI, urine pH, joints, growth issues, nursing, milk quality... you name it. I've been on Pro Plan for multiple years now raising close to a hundred dogs and its been so much better.

rabbit meat is literally deadly if you try to subsist off of it, it's literally too lean; you'll get significant deficiencies, you will get sick, and you will eventually die. it should always be a secondary protein to a fattier meat such as beef or pork. also remember that dogs, unlike cats, can synthesize the nutrients destroyed by cooking meat, so there's no real reason to be giving them raw meat; I can assure you they like the taste of cooked meat just as much as you do. I just give my dog free feed dry food coupled with scraps from my meals.

also you don't need to be rich to have a dog, that's faggot yuppie talk; earmark $500-$1000 per year for veterinary costs and miscellaneous shit and you're good.

Good on you for doing that. If the price works out and your dog will eat it, you can always mix dry food with water in a blender or food processor to make a paste. Some will take it readily, others not so much. The ones that don't will sometimes take a bit of wet food mixed in with the blended dry. It can help to reduce the cost of wet food if you can make a big batch of the blend once a week.

I fed my bird dog leftover table scraps for 14 years.
Mostly steak, chicken, duck, goose, and grouse. Bison if I could get my hands on it.
He really liked duck (teal especially) and goose because he was trained to retrieve waterfowl.
He also liked mashed potato but I didn't give it to him a lot because it made him lazy.
If you can afford to hunt (time+money) I recommend that. If not get one of those fancy dog food brands that's at least 90% meat.

I also get cow feet from the store. Frozen slices of bone, some meat and skin. Whenever my puppy needs something to keep her busy, I give her a slice.

If you eat rabbit as your primary meat source you absolutely will still get deficiencies and malnutrition.
