Buy a whole chicken - cut it in half or quarters and hand to your dog. At 57 lbs your dog needs about 1.4 lbs of food per day - based on 2.5% of adult weight per day. http://www.rawfeddogs.net/Recipes





My animals eat chicken, lamb, pork, fish, beef, kangaroo etc. I feed about 70-80% meat, 10-15% bone and 10-15% over the course of a week or two.





Remember that RAW beef is totally different to cooked beef. Heat changes the structure of protein and it is this altered proteins that causes problems. Don't write off a whole protein source because of problems with cooked beef.





Millions of dogs live out their entire lives never eating commercial processed foods.
I'm not sure what you consider ';really expensive'; but several of the premium and super premium foods don't contain beef. Most can be purchased for $35-50 for a 30-40lb bag. Wellness, Canidae, Nutro, and Blue Buffalo are all brands I know off the top of my head have beef free formulas in that price range.
Try Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul. I feed it, and it's a great food, moderately priced. No beef. http://www.chickensoupforthepetloverssou鈥?/a>





If you are looking for homemade recipes and can't find any without beef, simply substitute the beef with chicken, lamb or fish -whichever works for you.

Try some of those out!
I make my dog's food. All things are fresh. There are good kibbles out there if you look. I find I don't mind making food specific to my allergic dog's needs. I have patterned it after the BARF diet. My husband calls it the ARF diet. I use cooked meat. Fresh raw vegetables , fruit and supplements: kelp.salmon oil, prorbiotics and calcium powder since I do not use raw bones. Get the kind of meat or fish you are going to use and start from there. Avoid grain filler items. I feed twice a day. Do some reading on making your own food.
