I've mentioned HARE TODAY in a previous posting. I have to rave about them some more. Their bones are just the best!
We have been running dangerously low on raw meats in this house. My big freezer down in the basement is actually EMPTY! Can you believe that?! I have been able to grab some pre-ground BRAVO stuff from the pet store every week but we are desperate for some raw meaty bones.
I gave in and bought some beef ribs at SHAWS supermarket the other day. It's grain fed beef but there are worst things I could feed them. I let Riley and Sabrina have a big bowl of 8 ribs and let them go to town. It was really just a recreational activity more than a meal. The kitties, Mei Mei and Ming, even wanted in on the ribs. Ming was brave enough to grab a rib and drag it away. Everyone got a good teeth cleaning at least.
I recently joined a co-op for ordering Hare-Today products. We will be ordering every couple of months together. With a $1000 order together, we get free shipping. So I put in an order for those yummy beef bones, mutton bones, and a few new things I wanted to try-like chicken feet, fertile egg cubes, tripe, and dried liver. Since my two don't do so well on poultry or pork, it kinda limits what I can order for them. Too bad. The goat and the pork last time looked great but gave both Riley and Sabrina some bad gas. Oye.
Can't wait til our shipment comes. It will be a great feast!

Dem Bones Dem Bones
Here are the beautiful beef marrow bones from Hare-Today. Look at all that lovely meat surrounding the bone. Now that's a meal!
I gave these to Riley and Sabrina an hour and a half ago and they are still going at them. That's what I love about feeding a raw diet. I love watching my dogs get the psychological benefits of a satisfying meal. There is no doubt that they are not only getting nutrition, but great psychological stimulation, as well as a great workout for their jaws and teeth. Oh! Clean teeth!

A Hearty Canine Meal
Today I received my first order from Hare Today-Gone Tomorrow, HARE TODAY a raw food distributor located in PA. It was an exciting event! The products were nicely cut, packaged, and labeled in plastic bags and kept cool in a foam insulated box. The bones were absolutely beautiful! I had been preparing for the arrival of this box so Riley and Sabrina only got a small dinner last night and I fasted them through this morning's meal. I was so excited to give them a nice hearty beef meal. Here's what Sabrina and Riley each got for dinner:
1/2 pound of BRAVO beef blend (ground muscle, bone, organs)
1/2 pound of BRAVA beef tripe (ground stomach and some spleen)
1/4 pound of HARE TODAY'S beef trim
1 beef marrow bone from Whole Foods Market
It was so satisfying to watch my dogs eat their meal with such gusto. They just seemed to savor their meal and I was so proud to be able to give them such a nicely balanced meal. I held off on the HARE-TODAY beef marrow bones cuz they look like a beautiful snack in themselves. I'm saving it for a day when I feel guilty about not letting them out as much as I should. These beef marrow bones were surrounded by a good 3 inches of meat!
In addition, I purchased large goat bones and lamb bones. Both come with lovely thick layers of meat still attached. I bought some tripe and beef blend from them as well as chicken. The total, including shipping, came to approximately $2 a pound. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Plus, if I ship the foam insulting pieces back I get $10 back. Just to clarify this for people who think feeding raw food is terribly expensive. I looked online to compare with a "high end" holistic dog food. For a 33lb bag of the holistic kibble, you would pay $40. With shipping charges, you're looking at about $1.50 per pound of dog food. Now I dunno how much your dogs eat, but luckily my two are easy keepers. One meal like the one they had today alternated with a smaller meal every other day would do them just fine. And, I'm assured that the meat they are being fed has been raised on a small farm, without pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, or vaccines. Nothing makes me happier than that!
