Can anyone who gives this to their dogs tell me of a good UK supplier please?  I know one good place for organic supplies but they have a £50 minimum order.

The wonders of Google :)
- By Annie ns Date 27.06.06 10:28 UTC
Thanks Isabel.  I had tried Google but as you can see, it mostly comes back with tablets or capsules and I wanted the powder (organic if possible), around 2lb/1kg packs.

If it is £13 for the 125g bottle I found you, it is likely to be about £50 for a kilo isn't it, so you will be meeting the minumum order of your first supplier :)
- By Annie ns Date 27.06.06 10:34 UTC
No, apparently it isn't - think £10 was mentioned (going on hearsay from a friend).  Might be another case of bulk supplies being less expensive?  Don't know, might have to phone them myself and find out.

£10 a kilo!  Buy £50 worth and set up a market stall :D  Alfalfa is very chi-chi at the moment I'm told ;)
- By Annie ns Date 27.06.06 10:47 UTC
Wow even better - I've just checked for myself and it is £6.00 per kilo!!  Just the £50 minimum order that is the problem now!  Don't know about it being chi-chi Isabel but it is wonderful stuff, packed with nutrients.

Guess that why its chi chi then, people have found out how good it is ...and natural ;)
- By Annie ns Date 27.06.06 13:28 UTC
Well according to my sources, it contains vits A, B1, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D, E, K and U, plus betacarotene, biotin, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, protein, trace elements and fibre.  Wow!

Nothing synthetic in sight ;) :D
- By Isabel Date 27.06.06 14:41 UTC
I marvel that I have managed to say alive without it ;)
- By Annie ns Date 27.06.06 14:51 UTC
Now, now Isabel, you know what they say about sarcasm :D
- By Isabel Date 27.06.06 14:52 UTC
:D
- By Annie ns Date 27.06.06 15:01 UTC
Bet you don't race round the park like my dog does! :D
- By Isabel Date 27.06.06 15:10 UTC
I'm sure I can't :) but wouldn't it be fairer to pit me against you and your alfalfa induced whizzyness?  ;) :p
- By Annie ns Date 27.06.06 15:20 UTC
No, that's no good because I don't take it - as I'm always saying, my dogs' diet is many times healthier than mine. :)  Perhaps I should try some in a sandwich!
- By tohme Date 30.06.06 10:31 UTC
Keepers Mix by Dorwest Herbs has Alfalfa in it as well as other things.  Very high quality and in powder form.  You can get powdered alfalfa in health food stores; Hilton Herbs used to stock it too.
- By Annie ns Date 30.06.06 10:41 UTC
Thanks tohme. :)   I did try one health food shop but they only sold tablets.  I'll check out the others you've mentioned but I think it will be hard to beat the £6 per kg for organic alfalfa that I've already found!
- By Annie ns Date 02.07.06 08:20 UTC Edited 04.07.06 16:23 UTC
Sorry, should have mentioned before that the company doing organic alfalfa at £6 per kg is organicherbtrading.com. As I haven't used them myself yet, I can't vouch for them but a friend has used them in the past.  Only problem is their £50 minimum order :( but they supply lots of other things as well.
