Has anyone tried Nutriment?

I was at Crufts yesterday and visited their stand. I was really impressed with the mixture of raw meat, offal, ground bone, veggies and extras in their food (perfect for a novice or someone lacking in confidence about giving their dog BARF).

What do you think?

Nutriment

Nutriment - had a look. Wow - ingredients are endless - could be just a little bit too complex! I can see some dogs getting a little squitty on this diet!!

It is high in moisture (just shy of 70%) rather like wet food, so I wonder......

I think the pleasure dogs get from chomping through unfussed muscle fibre and bone cannot be matched by any processed raw food. Having said this, dogs with sore mouths, loose teeth or few teeth would benefit from this sort of food if the owner can't blitz food themselves.

It is a step in the right direction and it would be nice to see it in the supermarkets! Anything to get owners educated AWAY from dry food and tinned rubbish.

I don't use Nutriment but there are a few raw feeders on here that do, or have tried it. Personally I wouldn't want to include that amount of veggies every day, nor would I want to give that amount of seeds and oils. When I've got blitzed veggies in the freezer I give it about twice a week, and if I felt the need for any oils etc., for health reasons I'd rather give only whatever is needed.

As for chomping muscle meat, dogs don't chew. I've had 3 dogs over the years (lab, standard poodle, bichon) and they've all just sucked food in and basically swallowed, just got it down as quick as possible. A large, raw meaty bone then yes, a dog would tear the meat off then spend time crunching up the bone, and something like a carcass or a rib my dog would take her time to crunch up, but a meal of just muscle meat alone then there would be no chewing. My bichon is a gutsy girl, she gets approx 75g per meal. If I gave her a chunk of meat weighing 75g she would just suck that in, swallow then probably regurgitate it because it wont go down. She would actually just give a chicken wing one crunch and swallow so I have to hold those to slow her down.

I think prepared minces can be a good starting point for a newbie raw feeder until they get more confident but I don't see the need for the average dog (not talking about dogs with teeth or mouth issues here) to continue with them. As long as the owner has researched and understood raw feeding then meat/fish/offal/bone doesn't really need to be minced. Raw feeding is becoming more popular and manufacturers seem to have jumped on the bandwagon and more and more of these types of products are appearing. As I've had great difficulty sourcing poultry chunks over the last 12 months I'm assuming that a lot of it is now going towards minces instead. I've got some chicken chunks now (eventually) but I have to say that it doesn't look as good as the ones I previously got.

Just to give an example mum was chatting to family while prepairing food dog hovering and thought her dreams had come true when a whole burger fell from the sky above.

In less then half a minute the burger had gone just like that.


Depends on the bone but they generally mean crunching and munching and take anything from a few minutes to an hour to finnish off.

Hi Guys,

I've been lurking around this site now for just over 3 years, which is when I got my Leonberger. He has been fed raw all of his life. This is my very first post. I think the information on this site is amazing. Again, I've trawled this thread many times.

I've just come across BARF Petfoods in Sittingbourne who seem to have a fabulous selection of food. Just wondering if anyone has tried the, and what their experiences are?

I've not used them personally why not try putting up a thread to see if anyone else has experience of them?

Looking through this thread I see a few people have asked about Bulmer dog food, but only a couple of folks have posted their experiences, so I'll add mine if I may.

I've been using Bulmers for around 18 months, having previously started our raw journey using Prize Choice to see how we got on. Compared to Prize Choice, Bulmer meat wins hands down. I am more than happy with the quality and more to the point, so is my dog. Mark, who runs the company, is more than happy to chat about his meats, where he gets them from and how he processes them.

The minimum order for delivery is high (although I see new that you can make up the delivery weight in other products eg dry dog food, chicken feed, horse feed etc) but I'm lucky enough to live less than 20 miles away so I just go and collect once every 3-4 months. No complaints here whatsoever - great quality dog meat at great prices. The only downside is that his variety of meats is not massive, but my dog gets at least a couple of raw eggs a week, plus the odd bit of pigeon, pheasant and rabbit that she catches/finds, so I'm not worried that there's anything missing from her diet.

We use Wolf Tucker, they have prepared minces, courser than some others which the dogs seem to prefer. They also stock chicken wings, lamb ribs etc. Not all the minces have veggies, which is also good

Your menue is lacking in variety
You must lable whats in your food because yout customers dogs could have allergies. Raw doesn't cure allergies you need to know whats in the ingrediants.

The quality looks great if thats what it actually looks like
Are your meals complete ? You can't just feed chicken in a raw diet.

Hi,
Yes we deliver nationwide and are hoping to have a solution for keeping the food frozen during delivery without a minimum order quantity soon.
