Will2Live Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, I have heard some people say that they buy meat in bulks for their dogs. I was just curious as to where you people who feed chicken RMB bulk buy the majority of it from? I buy RMBs for $4 a kg for drumsticks/wings/necks etc, around $3 a kg for chicken dog mince and around $2 for 4 chicken frames. I have heard people say that they buy 12kg boxes of wings and necks for $10. That is an absolute BARGAIN, and if I know where to buy it from, I would definitely purchase it from there. Another question I want to ask is, are chicken frames good for German Shepherds? When I buy at the butcher, I see these big pieces of chicken ribs advertised at 4 or 5 for $1. They have minimal meat on them, and don't look like they would have much nutritional value for my dog. Am I seeing something else, or are they chicken frames, and if so do people think they offer any nutritional benefits for your dogs? I live around the Liverpool area in NSW, and would greatly appreciate any suggestions from anyone. Look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully you can help me: D Will.

ZAUBISTAR Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Chicken frames usually consist of the carcass with meat, wings and legs removed but heart kidneys and lungs intact. They also have two fatty pouches near the rear flap of the cavity which should be cut off prior feeding. They are OK fed raw about once a week or for a puppy cut in half. I've always fed frames and necks to my dogs as did my original breeder and most others around me, GSD's love them. Good luck finding a local supplier at a reasonable price. What you are paying sounds way too much. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsun Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 We feed our GSD's frames about twice a week. We use chicken mince (with the bone) the other days, along with a homemade pasta/veggie thing. They thrive on it. We've been totally raw now for almost two years, and the last few litters were gestated on raw and fed only raw as babies. First frames were at about 9 weeks or age or so. No issues getting them chewed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
