Pigs Ears and tripe sticks for dogs - where to buy?

gettingready

The packets I normally see are of 6-6 in each and quite pricey.

Does anyone know where could I get larger quantities(like 50 in a pack maybe) of good quality (not laced with chemicals) for a reasonable price online?

found 50 on zooplus but it is almost £30.00 hmmm

or per kg here

difficult to compare as one says a price per piece and the other per kg and not saying how much 1 piece weights or how many pieces in a kg...

Thanks

Ohhh just found those

but they are not really pig ears as such, just some "pieces" hmmm

I always used to buy mine from Zooplus, one time I bought a cheaper box from Amazon but the ears were much smaller.

However, bear in mind that both are quite fatty. You might want to look at cow or rabbit ears as a slightly less fatty alternative, especially as she's not going to be burning many calories over the next few weeks!

You might be better with these tbh - ears are are quite fatty and I know you've been trying to shift some weight off her (which won't be made easier with her enforced no exercise atm) - Zara won't notice she's getting less as she's still getting a treat

Aldi often have large boxes of tripe pieces, which get reduced a couple of weeks later.

Thanks - large quantity does not mean all for Zara.. heheheh Ewa gives the dogs one per day and not every day even... Just wanted a big pack so it would last a while as buying small packs of 4-5 is quite expensive

Zara is fed twice per day with all the other dogs now and won't see(read:steal) cat food so that alone will help with her weight

So - any pointers as to where to get them in bulk and reasonable price please?

Pets at home have big boxes which are OK value wise as I usually see them priced around £1 / ear in small bags

Aldi do sometimes have them in box boxes but not regularly

£1.00 per ear is quite pricey actually - if one is looking to buy like 50 or so

I'm pretty sure rising from the ashes is saying PAH's box price is OK value wise as it works out cheaper than the £1 per ear they are in lower quantities (not that £1 each is good value)

That's exactly it!

They work out 58p / ear
