Hi Mark,
I've got two Great Danes that I feed Dr. Pitcairn recipes for FAR less than if I fed them kibble.
Having said that you might want to try Sojo's premix first. (orange bag) Its super easy to fix and balanced. Sojo's plus meat on sale will be very close to what you're paying now for kibble.
If you've got more time than money- then I'd go with Dr. Pitcairn recipes. Just be sure to include the healthy powder and all the vitamins he specifies. You want it to stay balanced over the long term.
I've had great luck with both for 6yrs now. Contact Dr. Falconer for my info if I can help you walk thru it.
