tsteve9999 456 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I can recoommend Brian Betteridge to anyone in the Weat Mids area, I'm paying around 25p per lb for minced chicken, lamb, and beef, and 30odd pence for tripe. A tray of chicken thigh bones weighing around 40lb I would guess,with a lot of meat stilll on cost me 3 quid . Add a shredded cabbage , a few carrots, or anything other veg I can scrounge off the missus and it's a cheap way to feed the dogs. The only other thing I give is a cheap tin of pilchards in sunflower oil occasionally, and a handful of mixer. My two have improved 100% since starting using this stuff, the coat on my lurcher pup is really glossy. Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've only got a small freezer for the dogs so I can't buy big amounts, but yes, you're right about the prices they do seem to change. All I can say if I've found him easy going and not expensive so I'm happy to go there, 20 or 30 pence per lb is a darn sight cheaper than tinned or decent dry dog food.
