Has anyone heard of and/or used this brand of frozen raw meat?  My local pet shop sell it and it seems very reasonably priced.  Any thoughts or opinions would be gratefully received.

Yes, I use it; the dogs love it. Unless you order vast quantities it actually works out cheaper getting it from a pet shop than delivered direct as well!

Thanks for such a quick response.  I´m so pleased you like it.  My local petshop is only a short walk away so it is really convenient and the price is very good.  Loads of different meats/flavours too so I´m really happy now (and so is my dog!)

I use it as part of my dogs' raw diet - mostly the tripe packs - but I also use other raw meat, fish, eggs, veg etc too. I wouldn't want to use it exclusively :) I can buy it cheaply locally.

My only gripe is that some of the meats are so over processed that they are more like mousse than mince!  That said, the dogs have never turned their noses up :)

I can buy pet mince much cheaper but I find this stuff invaluable when holidaying in the UK as many pet shops stock it.  I also really like their freeflow tripe (useful for topping up amounts without defrosting extra blocks) and the dogs and I really like their beef chunks (lots of chew)

Yes I feed 40 cats, 7 Papillons and one Cavalier on nothing but their foods and am extremely pleased with it -not just the minces though, they also get for instance heart chunks and I also like the Traditional blocks which has bran and vegetables added to the meats. I cut my food costs by nearly £150 a month by switching to them from normal commercial foods and now when I have spent over £1001 in the past year they have moved me up to the next price band so my monthly order has gone down by just over £24 which I am chuffed about. :) (It costs me £247.83 each month to feed all that lot -48 animals!) I don't feed my big dogs on it as they get meat and bones from the butcher for next to nothing (cost a tenner a month to feed 12 large dogs) but I found the meat from the butcher didn't suit my little dogs or the cats.

Blimey goldmali, do you own all those cats are are you running a boarding cattery? !!!!!  I noticed in the petshop that the chunks of meat were advertised as being ideal for bigger breeds so thought maybe they wouldn´t be suitable for papillons.  Sounds like I´m wrong so maybe I´ll try one of them next.

> I can buy pet mince much cheaper


Yes - I can, but my butcher puts a lot of offal in it so I can't feed it more than once a week :(

No worries with  the smaller breeds my pomx eats chunks necks and chicken wings and drumsticks with no trouble just takes her longer. I am another one who uses prize choice sometimes

My doggies love it too, particularly the tripe and the rabbit :-D But, we only use it as a topper, don't know how it compares in terms of other meats for real raw feeders. I do give it to my pups, they seem to approve too!

I use it as our pet shop sells it - although they are going over to Forthglade raw minces.  I just wish they sold the Prize Choice poultry necks in my local shop, I really hate buying chicken wings from Tesco.
- By Reikiangel [gb] Date 11.01.13 14:50 UTC
I struggle to get mine to eat it.  I think it might be how its stored in the pet shop (PaH), always full of ice and welded together.  i buy it when I don't find it all iced up.  I get green tripe from kennelgate and sometimes the freeflow, theirs isn't iced up. 

I did wonder if it would be in better quality if i ordered direct. 
- By Honeymoonbeam [nl] Date 11.01.13 18:21 UTC
I asked my butcher about chicken wings.  He said he doesn´t get them now because the Chinese restaurants buy them all up.
- By Goldmali Date 11.01.13 23:46 UTC
I get my delivery once a fortnight and it's never in poor condition, always perfect. From petshops however I have sometimes seen it in great big icy lumps.
