  • The guy will discount for bulk orders, 2nd when we order we ask him if he can mix and match and he does. For large orders no postage win win and finally the product is top quality I race my five huskies and they are in brilliant condition.

    The eBay seller does look a tad expensive on some things - £4 a kilo for minced chicken carcasses seems very expensive to me, (I pay about £1.15 a kg for mince, or can get whole carcasses for 62p/kg) but I think it's also all about finding what works for you :) Not every suppliers delivers to every area, not every meat suits every dog, sometimes the packaging, pack sizes, minimum orders etc. can make an ideal supplier for one a terrible idea for someone else, etc.

    One of the suppliers I uses also gets its share of bad rap, but I've never had an issue myself in the few years I've been using them. And there's another supplier I used to use that is cheaper - but the delivery schedule makes it awkward with limited freezer space since we moved house, so I had to look elsewhere. Now I have a big freezer again, I'm trying another supplier just to see how we get on with them, I'm always keeping my eyes peeled for different sources to try :)

    Hi,
    Not sure if you're still thinking of doing this, but I use natural instinct so could refer you if you'd like.
    Finding this thread really interesting. I've not been raw feeding that long and still experimenting to get something both my dogs will eat...

    I'm still transitioning my 2.

    I found quail on sale in a local Chinese shop but only 1 cat would eat it (ended up cooking & then stripping meat from bone & putting broth in their bowls so as not to waste it) hand feeding which did produce bloody/runny stools). Now it's been over a month of successful feeding of raw chicken chunks will revisit possibly in next few weeks. Will try the hammer with them wrapped in a towel suggested here:

    kidney & liver can be sourced in Sainburys & Morrisons (maybe in other supermarkets but I haven't seen it locally myself thus far).

    I live in S E London so many butchers sell offal & other less bog-standard meat here. However I'm still mixing with Butchers Classic & ground eggshells so food not too much change at once. The price of pre-mixed raw put me off immediately! Already there is ALOT less poop.
