First week you want to use the same protein source to give their body time to adjust. After that you can get a little more creative.
Oh, and there's no charge for that.

We feed mostly chicken and turkey, all three dogs get about a pound a day. We suppliment with organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar (great for eye boogers), MSM (joint support), sardines in water (for oils), blood from the meat bags (because they like it), vegetables (for roughage), metamucil (helps keep things moving). All of the suppliments are given a couple times a week, without any set schedule.

Christine it is VERY easy to feed raw, not complicated at all. If it were, I wouldn't be doing it.

For example you guys know I feed Timberwolf Organics Wild and Natural; has anyone made the switch from a similar product to raw? Any significant findings ...was the dog healthier a better chess player etc?
The reason I ask is because of the of the convenience factor. For example if feeding raw puts my dog in the 10/10 stars category where he craps golden nuggets that I sell for a profit [I know sorry for the over exaduration] and feeding TW W&N is 9/10 stars but I only make one trip to the store I don't bother with freezing and I just poor some into a bowl and he's almost in the same category as the raw fed dogs then I would stick with what I'm doing.
However, if what I feed is in the 6/10 compared to raw I would definitely switch to raw.
Am I making sense? How do they stack up? [keep in mind I supplement with roughage, organic raw eggs, cottage cheese etc.]
