gnipper 6,467 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 That lot was processed and boxed up while we waited, ten minutes if that so they were as fresh as can be How much does that lot cost you gnipper ? Its gone up now to £3 a box, think I put too many people on to them and they cottoned on they could cash in on it. A few years ago when I first started buying them from there it was a quid a box and that was just to cover the labour and packaging. I was getting them from other places before but sometimes you'd end up with bags of skin, green backs and even the string they tie chickens up with so i'd rather pay the extra for good fresh carcases.

martin 332 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 ..........but freaked out just couldnt give my dog one (10month old staff) , there bigger than i thought tbh- i tore som flesh off for her and the snapping sharp bones exaggerated my fear of her choking etc! for handiness sake and space saving in the freezer i might mince them, anyone no of a decent sized mincer as i can get a dozen free carcasses every week if needed and thats to good an offer to pass esp when im paying for tripe! any help/experince appreciated i give her a ham bone every other week or when i can afford it You are already putting your dogs life at risk by giving it a cooked ham bone,these are the sort of bones that can be very dangerous,whereas raw chicken bones are no problem at all so,get the things on the inside of the dog he will thank you for it in the end. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,467 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I know mate, I think its about 12 kilo in a box so its still quite cheap for the weight. I get lamb necks and rib cages free too and mince lamb, tripe etc is I think £11 for a 30lb box from a different place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DOGGINLAD 538 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Gnipper is the lamb ribs and neck around the same place as you get the chickens ?? or carnt you tell me? i used to get the chickens at the same place as you i think but i get them closer now as i dont need as many.. but i struggle to get hold of lamb...

The one 8,477 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Gnipper we get the same stuff but they jumped it up and want 65 pence a kilo now ,as said there great for the ferrets and dogs as there killed young and don't have the time to develop real bones ,it takes the dogs a wee while to eat them and thats no a bad thing either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeTheDog 153 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Lots of different opinions regarding feeding bones to your dog. My opinion, non load bearing bones no problem, recreational bones (beef shin) risky as there is a slight possibility of tooth damage, load bearing bones such as chicken thigh bones tend to splinter imo. But, if your dog masticates rather than swallow whole then you shouldn't have any problems.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,467 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Mike I don't think your use of the english language will be fully appreciated on here, there will be people checking for their dog knocking one off to see if he's ok to eat bones 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Just to knock this back up ........... Did anyone elses dog turn it's nose up at chicken carcasses the first time you fed it? Mine has tonight, he's getting feck all else though the little faggot. Does it take a hungry dog to eat them the first time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
