looking for large beef or buffalo bones- Vancouver - Page 2

I have often wondered why manufacturers put carrots and other veggies that know the dogs can't digest anyway. There was a great raw food out of Canada called Amore that had an ostrich variety. My dogs LOVED it and thrived on it. I don't know if it is still available in Canada, or not, but they also had raw bison and venison bones.

It looks like Amore is still making and selling dog food www.amorepetfoods.com/ Nia, is it easy for you to take Raw food over the border?

Kathy Dawson on the Island has been making her own raw food for sale for awhile now www.islandfreshk-9.com It is very good quality, but also is expensive. I know she goes to pick the animals out herself that will be used and she will only use animals that are free range and raised on farms (ie: no old retired dairy cows or something) She does care about the animals she uses in her dog food and will arrange that they only be shipped a little while before they are to be slaughtered. She doesn't want them standing around waiting and watching what happens to the other animales too long, which I think is actually nice. She is very involved in the processing of the food, and is there every time food is made making sure nothing is missing. She does have a wide variety of protein sources though (beef, chicken, turkey, venison, lamb, and elk). I think a lot of the cost associated with raw is the packaging costs. I just wish I could afford to feed it!!

My problem is simply not having the freezer space to feed raw, buying product in bulk. We CANNOT bring any meat products over the border and dog food was a no no, at least at one point. When I go to Canada overnight, I take only as much kibble as I need for my stay.

I know, I only have a regular fridge sized freezer. I am lucky that the person I get it from sells it in bulk prices if you buy more than 60lbs but can store it for you if you only can take 30lbs at a time. 90%of my freezer is taken up with raw food, bones and turkey necks, but thats ok :-)
