I feed mine Franks Pro Gold complete dried food and only the best goes into this, no crap etc. My friend imports and sells the food. Loads of Husky people feed their dogs on this(active) Excellent food. My dogs look wonderful

Ok guys......places to buy your BARF/RMB ingredients with sample prices......bear in mind where I live....not sure if there will be much price difference in other areas of the UK....anyway

Abbotoir - great for hearts, liver, tripe, bones etc.....mine is all fresh, I only pay 20p for a piece of tripe, which is in fact 1 whole stomach, its the green unwashed tripe, which does stink.....looks different to the bleached stuff from the butcher, which is also MASSIVLY dearer

Poultry places- great for chicken wings, legs, carcasses etc, much cheaper than the super market, for example, if I get chicken wings, which to be honest I dont get really these days, they are only £7.50 per box with approx 120-150 wings per box.....also carcasses only £2.50 per box of approx 100

Fish Dealers - I get Salmon fish heads for our gang, at only 10p-20p per head

Fresh Rabbits - we feed a whole rabbit, stomach contents removed, but thats it, they eat everything, meat, bones, fur....EVERYTHING, I pay £1.50 per rabbit.....these tend to be the more pricey part of the diet as if you buy from the butcher/shop etc they tend to charge anywhere between £3-£5 per rabbit......I am very lucky

Bones - we get FREE

I could go on - but I think you get the gist

Does anyone fancy doing a BARF or RMB diet thread detailing what its all about etc and then I can sticky it? I would be interested to know the ins and outs of it I am sure others would too if it was here for them to read.
