Re: Raw diet from the butcher

This is what always goes in

beef mince
lamb mince
chicken mince
chicken wings
liver (lambs and only a small bit)
kidneys (again lambs and only 2)
heart - usually lamb but can be ox
lungs - lambs again
ribs - lambs

Now on top of that he throws in whatever else he has left... so it could be

chicken necks
chicken drummers
turkey necks
turkey wings
game carcases (pheasent, partridge, duck, goose etc)
other meat (never pork), such as diced chicken, steaks etc - whatever is left and cant be sold the next day...

He charges me 0.50p per lb... I do him a favour by taking everything that isnt going to be able to be sold the next day, and he minces it all up in the big industrial mincer for me!

My cats also get chicken wings, turkey wings, chicken necks and lamb ribs to chew and crunch too!
Are supplements required with this diet also? I don't have a problem with the supplements I would just rather not if possible.

Thank you to everyone who is helping me out here!
It is something we have been talking about for a while since seeing a site on this forum but we kinda put it to the back of our minds as we don't have the freezer space which is why I was thinking about the fresh butcher option. Now I'm wondering if it might be better to buy the meat from the internet and buy a second hand freezer to keep in the garage.

lots to think about
