I don't like anything much minced, tripe is ok.

I would feed all that ..

I pay 40p lb and the boy delivers it to me as I'm ordering 100lb a time ,

[reddawn 2,173]

i feed most meat but i wouldnae touch tripe way a bargepole, id honestly rather feed kibble than tripe...

 

my dogs thrive on lamb/beef/chicken/bunnys as staple diet way veg, pasta an rice thrown in for good measure, they also get a load a hare an venision when its available, check out some a the pet food sites mate, durham animal feed or daf for short usually has a decent suplly an a good menu, tho me an a few mates local to me have stopped using them as there prices are slowly but surely creepin up..

 

best a luck with ye new venture

im sure daf started off at around 7 quid a box mate, an a box consistes of 20 x 1lb pouches of your desired meat, but over the last 4 years an the increase in customers buying the barf diet in for dogs there prices have soared, im sure its upto 11 quid a box of meat now mate, but there meat is always nice an fresh to give them some credit, there is also a place im middlesbough now that offers similar services but my mate told me yesterday there chicken was shit, i have went another route an now swap/barter or buy in meat from 2 local butchers in return for game

[Carraghs Gem 1,675]

Id feed most of that plus small quantitys of liver/kidney and I go out of my way to source tongue

 

I would also be delighted if I couldsource horsemeat as I hear it is an excellent source of protein

Wouldn't touch tripe with a barge pole, why's that? Don't you like the smell?

 

My dogs get mainly rabbit, venison and birds, I supplement with a little kibble and feed hearts from time to time.

Because I don't feed guts, I feel the need to give tripe. It has a lot to give dogs other than protein.

smell an it was pointed out to me a while ago that the nutritional value of tripe compared to other meat is crap, so i opted not to feed it, i go tmates who swear by it an there dogs do well, i do feed a very mixed diet an try to make up for the lack of tripe in the diet

tripe s nutritionall content may not be that of flesh such as beef lamb chicken etc that is because one its offal , but where the tripe makes up for is the mnerals and amino acids it gives one animal a good gut flora with the good bacteria etc also feeding gren bellys they also receive all the veg in the tripe its self one often heres tripe crap i believe its a good food product if used correctly . atb bunnys.
