I knew buying a chest freezer was somehow tempting fate!
Nutriment looks quite good. They're expensive for duck necks, although they are prepacked into 1kg bags. I'm going to wait and see what sort of wholesale deal Dogs First comes up with tomorrow before ordering anywhere. I've been feeding chicken legs and mince beef from Aldi, but I really miss the duck necks.0 -

I did my order via PM on the Nutriment Ireland Facebook page and collected it at the NSC (but they do also a 10€ delivery!)- the dogs love it! Btw nutriment salmon looks like salmon and not like cheap crap white fish like from the other supplier!
Sorry, what's the NSC? Sounds like that won't be a goer for me so. That's a nuisance, had hoped I would be able to use Nutriment for my girl in the meantime
I live in Leitrim though, so can't be going to Dublin or that to pick up her food at the drop of a hat. 0 -

The National Show Center. You can also get it delivered for €10. I only got a delivery from DF last week but will definitely be trying nutriment when my stock runs out - I like the idea of being able to buy smaller amounts eg 1kg of hearts or wings etc. I only have a small under counter freezer for the dog stuff so will be able to try some different stuff instead of filling it with 15kgs of duck necks!0 -

Absolutely delighted to read this! Nutriment sounded like a great alternative, but I wasn't crazy about buying UK meat. I'd much rather buy Irish. Here's hoping the courier server gets up and running soon.

I don't know about human consumption, but the idea of buying imported meat doesn't feel right to me. I'd rather buy from Irish farmers.Hmmm was going to buy some nutriment but didn't realise it was english meat. Is it not fit for human consumption?
I remember the first time I got sardines from DF, he very enthusiastically tried to convince me that I could fry them up and eat them myself.
Edit: I'm just assuming Nutriment is English meat. It's a UK company and made in England as far as I know.0 -

You people in Dublin are so lucky that DF has sorted out a supplier so quickly.
He keeps saying delivery will be up and running soon. I can't wait - I've been bulking the pup's meals out with wet food to make the meat last but I'll be able to give her more meat now that I can get another delivery when we're running out!0 -

Is he not getting a supplier sorted for the whole country?0 -
if you have storage space "wholesale" raw food is not expensive imo cheaper than a good quality dry food anyway. €18-20 for 15kgs of duck necks lasts me almost a month for my 2 dogs.
TK I'm trying to work this out at the moment. Maybe you can advise - if I get 15kg of chicken necks, 15kg of duck wings and then some lamb heart or something, is that enough variety with their veggies (and things like eggs, cod liver oil etc) added in?
How much space does 30kg meat take up? 0 -

Yeah that sounds good! 15kgs of duck necks takes up 2 drawers of my under counter freezer. The necks are very easy to divide up too0 -

It was lack of transparency that made me another disgruntled customer some time ago, I completely lost trust in them as a result.
Tk, I have been on to Slaney Pet Foods in the recent past to ask him about the fat content of their meats, because this is a really important consideration for me too. Here's what he told me, it's not a complete list:
Chicken 13%
Lamb 16%
Beef 9%
Tripe 13%
Heart chunks 10%
Liver chunks 2%
I take it that Slaney meat is in chunks. The only comparison I can give is that the minced chicken from DF. according to them, has 30-40% fat.
I may give Slaney a go, just one order and see how it goes, although it doesn't work out much cheaper than buying meat from supermarkets, though if its better quality and not consisting of so much fat it could be worth a go.
A friend of mine has ordered from them and she had no issues with the quality of their meats.
I will be placing my third order with Slaney next week.
So far I have gotten minced green tripe, minced venison, heart chunks and liver chunks and have zero complaints. This time it will be tripe (they love tripe) and rabbit.
Worked for years as a chef - the 'old fashioned' kind that is trained in butchery so I am a pretty good judge of raw meat and my one 'complaint' is that as there is minced bone in the venison I can't try out it out myself.
The heart chunks are whole hearts so the amount of fat varies from quite a lot to hardly any. As I dice them myself trimming off the fat isn't an issue for me.
I won't be getting the liver chunks again simply because my 4 spoiled toe-rags don't like it.
I do wish they did neck and bones but we have found a butcher who does a great deal for us on chicken wings and beef knuckles.
I don't live in Dublin so it is great that I order on a Sunday night and on Tuesday morning a cooler box is delivered with my order still frozen in 1 kg bags. No looking to see when deliveries will be made to far flung places like Cork City...
Including delivery it works out as less than a tenner a week to feed 4 JRTs.0
