I have started raw feeding fairly recently, after spending over a year looking into it.

As I live in Northern Ireland, there are no companies like Landywoods etc who deliver here. I have been quite lucky to find a local butcher who will do me 'pet mince' for 45p a lb and give me recreational bones for free. I can also buy breast of lamb on the bone from him for £1 a lb, which is by far the cheapest way I have foudn to feed lamb. The mince sometimes has lamb in it too.

Other things I have fed/do feed are: pigs trotters, whole rabbits, (but I do like to take the fur, heads and feet off!) chicken wings, turkey drumsticks, oxtail, pork ribs, (on the rack, not singly since our 14 week old puppy gave us a heart attack swallowing a whole pork rib!!!) hearts, liver, kidneys, whole fish, tinned sardines/pilchards in oil or tomato sauce, beef mince, whole eggs including the shell, live yoghurt and a fruit and veg mix with a few nuts, seeds, herbs and some oil in it.

I am aiming to feed mince in the morning, with veg etc mixed in if they are having it that day, then a meaty bone meal in the evening. I work more the the 'prey model' where veg etc is concerned than the amounts suggested with BARF.

I'd like to feed things like venison, duck and other game, but it is hard to get cheaply.

I do much prefer feeding this way, the dogs enjoy it so much more, their teeth are cleaner, their coats better and their breath doesn't smell anymore, nor do they.
