I normally feed my 2 whippets and 2 italian greyhounds on complete food for breakfast (burns, arden grange or james wellbeloved) and cooked minced chicken and mixer biscuit for dinner

I buy the chicken in frozen blocks from our local pet food warehouse. Each day I defrost a block and cook it.

Sometimes it doesn't smell great, hence the reason for the daily complete food, as a stand-by or if we run out of chicken (not often!)

So I was wondering - where do you buy your dog food from? and who is the best supplier of frozen dog food?

I'm pretty lucky, my local pet store gets minced chicken in straight from the abbatoir. It's always good quality. Before that I used Natures Way, never had a problem with that, it's just a lot cheaper (25p ib) from the pet store. (It's an animal feeds stockist, loads of horse supplies, they are a lot cheaper than the big flash stores.)

We worry like mad that we give our dogs good, fresh food, then you find them eating some ancient dead creature when they are out!!!!!!!! YUCK!!

that's a fair point - with 4 dogs there is always a race to eat the smelly dead things under the hedge :x but I still worry anyway, cos its proper packaged dog food but I'm not always convinced its ok :unsure:

anyone from hemel hempstead/watford/dunstable area got a good supplier? (herts, beds and bucks area)

Most butchers do bags of pet mince. I pay about £1 for 3kg, which i think is really reasonable.

Local butchers are a dying breed and should be saved because they are so cheap!!

He also charges 15p for a bag of massive bones!!

We went to the market to get some beef bones for our dogs and were told they can't sell them anymore because of eu regulations

I buy Frozen Tripe, chicken from Pets at Home. chicken Wings in trays for about £1.20 from Asda and bags of mince from the freezer from Asda too.

My friend who owns greyhounds tells me she thinks her greyhound food dealer sells frozen food so might try there sometime.

This I due to the mad cow scare but our butcher sells them as not as bones but to be used for boiling.He says its the only way he can sell them. :wacko:

I get my frozen meat , tripe, chicken wings etc. from Anglian Meat Products, they deliver fortnightly any where I think, but you do need a big freezer as there is a minimum order, of about 3 cases of 40x454 gm packs I think, but sometimes it is handy to share with someone who lives near you.

Thanks for your suggestions - getting a bit peeved now cos I've just defrosted another dodgy pack of chicken, very annoying cos it is from a pet food warehouse, made by a recognised firm!

perhaps I should move? it sounds easier to get decent dog food outside of home counties
