Michelleva Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I just saw these at the local butcher, they were pretty cheap and looked quite meaty. I don't know if they would be too big for my sheltie though, does anyone else feed them? I wonder if the butcher could cut them in half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I feed them to my 6 month old Springer - I just trim the fat off. She used to gnaw on them but now crunches them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajtek Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 My bullies feast on them once a week. Thoroughly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilly Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 My guys absolutely love them ... I buy a couple of kilo's and freeze them individually and just keep them in the freezer (zip lock bag) for a bed time snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelleva Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Great, next time I'm down there I'll pick up a couple for her to try. ETA - they were $1.50 each, but quite a big size, so they looked pretty good value to me. I don't know what others pay.

The Spotted Devil Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 That's a good price going by what I can pick up locally - but I don't go out of my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I get my butcher to cut them up into fours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee lee Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 That's a great price- wish I could find them that cheap. They are the bone of choice for my dog. She's at home with one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelleva Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 I get my butcher to cut them up into fours. Do you have a small dog Megan? That was my only concern, I think a whole one is too much for an 8kg dog. I'm sure the butcher wouldn't mind cutting them up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar (AmBull) Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Yes an absolute great bone to feed, I get them cut in half and freeze them, Oscar eats them frozen. $1.50 is cheap... 60c is INCREDIBLY cheap I wish mine were that cheap I pay around $3 each.

Sam the man Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I checked the price of lamb necks at one butcher here. They are $10.99 a kilo. Obviously they don't class them as "pet food". A few years ago I bought some from another butcher, who has since closed down. From memory he would sell them for a couple dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I just saw these at the local butcher, they were pretty cheap and looked quite meaty. I don't know if they would be too big for my sheltie though, does anyone else feed them?I wonder if the butcher could cut them in half? our local butcher cuts them length ways and I freeze them. Also Tasman Meats in Victoria sells them $3.99 for 2 halfs...I cut those in half again and our staffies have 1 piece every couple of days, there isnt much left after...lol I'm a little comcerned if the butcher cuts them too small as the smaller bones could get stuck in the throat of an "enthusiastic" eater (like my female who inhails her food). On hot days my dogs love the frozen necks. I also get beef shin bones, cut lenght ways again, for them. It saves the brooms etc from being distroyed.
