Are you serving RMB meat with this product or meat and organ mean?

I used cooked ground lean turkey and lean beef with about 10% liver. I add fish oil and yogurt. I'm studying food animal medicine as part of my veterinary medicine program and no longer feel comfortable feeding my dogs raw meat, unfortunately. My concern is mostly with tumor causing viruses like BLV that are ubiquitous in our meat supply-organic or not. It is inactivated by heat. I do wish I could comfortably feed them raw meat though--I know it has it's advantages. That's why I supplement with Yogurt and fish oil.

Not RMB. Was using meats, but dog is sensitive. No using veg as supplement to wellness dry food. Cuts down on the amount of plants he was eating. I am concerned. I don't likevthecrisk of him accidentally eating toxic plant. He really likes this veg. mix and he has good reaction.

I'm adding just chicken breast that I grind. My dog has pancreatitis and has to have ground/pureed low fat meat with digestive enzymes added.

My dogs are doing great on this food when I use cooked chicken or sardines (canned in water). Raw meat has its advantages, but so does cooked.

The Honest Kitchen website says that you can feed with commercial raw like Primal, ground chicken/turkey necks and backs, or cubed/ground meat from the grocer and cooked or raw. I personally wouldn't add anything with bone to it because it already has a calcium: phosphorous ratio of 2.5:1. I would add only boneless meats and organs so that you even out the calcium: phosphorous ratio more. I have always fed it with ground muscle meat and liver lightly cooked.

I use this product to supplement all (5) of my dogs' diets. I originally purchased this product for my 10 year old Yorkie who has Protein Losing Enteropathy. I reconstitute this product and add a small amount of plain mashed potato flakes, THK Perfect Form and Spirulina. I serve the Preference Combo along with a small amount of Hill's Prescription Diet Canine Gastro and fresh baked Tilapia.

Mostly the main entrees. A is mainly meat & tator stuff (beef or pork). B entrees are mostly veggie. (pasta and/or chicken).

Geez guy...and I thought I was being anal about the ingredients. This product is meant for emergency situations in which you have no food-I don't think the trans fat is an issue if that happens.

Everyone - this is what I want to know and I will be contacting the company to find out. I want to know what is NOT on the label nor on their website nor could the guy at Whole Foods give a definitive answer (he's waiting to hear back from me on this) when he spoke to the company.If they source from cows that are injected with rBST - I want nothing to do with it. It's important. Why would I drink what I won't eat in my beef?If anyone has heard from the company on this, I think all of us should know.

worry less on how many pounds. If you would like to have the meat nicely grinded, concern should be on how much fat meat was mixed with those lean meat. More fat meat means more difficult to be grinded.

The same reason anyone eats a cow, chicken, pig or dog corpse; it is tasty. But personally I do not think I could ever buy meat online. I prefer to go to my local butcher. The prices are better too.

Yes. The only difference I found is this one comes with recipes for dog treats. Otherwise, if the meat is precooked before it is dehydrated, it acts the same as one marketed specifically for human consumption.

Mr. Hill, I'm sorry to say I don't know the answers to your questions; I'm as new to this, or more so, than you are. I have just begun a vegan regimen because I watched the video "Forks Over Knives." I hope it will combat my CAD and diabetes!

Yes it is, why the concern? Not all products from China are bad, it all depends what you are buying, and if it is food, well!that is a question to debate about, but i am pleased with my cutting board.

I so agree, because the one thing they don't show you is the one thing that ended my dog in the hospital for 3 days (and $1,800 in vet bills). The fat content of this is very high. Even with all the research I did, I thought this was a very good food for my dogs, but for one the high fat content took its toll (I do not feed my dog table scraps or other high fat foods; their treats consist of vegetables and on a rare occasion a bully stick). The dog who got pancreatitis was on the fish/sweet potato version of the Taste of the Wild. But seriously, when you are selling stuff online please provide a picture of the back of the bag with the details for everyone to read.

You can use either. I generally use cooked liver, chicken or beef. Sometimes some scrambled eggs.

True somewhat... I was happy with steaks, ribs, burgers, pork chops & chicken. Tried breaded shrimp, chicken nuggets they were ok. Didn't like French fries. Still experimenting.

Someone questioning about pork-derived contents is probably concerned with kashrut/halal dietary restrictions. I know that many interpretations of the rules of kashrut permit ingestion of pure chemicals isolated from animals (rennet in cheese, for instance). It would be something the asker would need to check with their dietary authority.

No. I don't put meat or cheese in it, or grain products. Just vegetable scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, garden waste, etc. We have lots of rats here (Southern California) and squirrels and opossums. Nothing has shown interest. The composter is a pretty sturdy little thing, and the lid is secure--though I weight it with a rock.

I love my "grinder" & use it for a lot of things but never for bones, it was not made for that job. I have made mincemeat and cranberry sauce that is healthier then store-bought. each piece is uniform and same size last year, I was given a turkey. I stripped the meat off the bones and ground it. it was good but not a job that I will do again.

Yes. It's perfect for serving meat. It's larger than dinner forks but smaller than many serving forks---in a good way. I have many serving forks and the others seem almost too big. This one is perfect.

yes, I think you can. I have seen many recipes with meats 3-4lbs for the demi. What doesn't fit, cut in half. Cutting meats has not been a problem, since you will probably cut into slices before serving.
