Barf feeding - mine from butchers.

[scewal]

I'm new to barf feeding. My butcher supplies huge bags of mince ordered from the abattoir.
Along with bones is this a suitable diet?
Thank you.

Do you know what's in the mince? Some meats are more nutritious than others

I mix tripe, chicken carcass, whole minced chicken, and at the moment I have beef chunks (which don't have a great deal of nutritional value but they are nice and fatty and give his jaws a work out).
Depending on what's in he can also get liver, kidneys, heart, oxtail, cow tongue (NEVER AGAIN!!) etc. Eggs a couple of days a week.

I'd want to know what was going in the mince and have some variety, offal, fish, bones, different sources of meat.

I would say read the raw sticky BUT admin in their wisdom removed it...........

As above really. I suspect the mince is just all the offcuts......which is fine but I too would add some variety

Thanks for your replies, I didn't actually ask silly I know. At the moment i'm using it as a 'topping' for their normal food. Along side that they get bones a few times a week too.
I'll pop in next week and ask.
