Cyndy: Try the meat market in Wildwood on 301. Tell the owner exactly what you are looking for and I think they will help you. One word of warning, the shop kinda, sorta smells .... a bit like an abattoir. He is real butcher, not just a meat cutter.

Aldi's is good too. I get my grass fed meats in Ald'is

I used to add Omega-3 for my Welshie and it really did help his coat.

What a lucky pup to have such a loving person!

No worries! I wouldn't go the cooked chicken route.

Thanks, Madeline. I'm familiar with the "aroma" as every supermarket in SW France smells similar. I will try them plus Aldi's.

We do add an omega supplement, and it has restored his coat.

I hope things work out well for you CFrance but I have a feeling if the food was $500 a pound that beautiful animal would have it. :pray:

What a Great complement for your Vet. Does she accept people as patients? Maybe I'll change! :1rotfl:

I think she might take you on, Nucky. Can you bark? ������

We get a large bag of Chicken Leg Quarters at Winn Dixie or Wal-Mart. After boiling and de-boning the chicken we take the bones and grind them in our Vitamix to add the bone-meal to our dogs food.

I supplement with chicken breasts from fresh market. 2.99/lb on Tuesdays.

In my experience, Sav-A-Lot has the cheapest meat around. Have not shopped at the meat market in Wildwood, though.

I feel sorry for your Dog...why? Where can I find the cheapest meat ?... For me treat man's best friend treat him/her like would treat yourself..Publix has strip steak on sale this week $ 8.99lb. Your pet is, after all, he/she is part of your family.

Would you want to eat the " Cheapest"?
Bottom line if only animals/pets could talk.

Come on!
Most dogs would be happy with half rotten road kill given the choice.

I was afraid this thread would eventually turn ugly.


Why would I pay $10 for beef in Publix when I could get it somewhere else less expensively? A dog does not need prime cuts of meat.


I invite you to come around anytime and judge how happy and healthy my dog is.

Thanks, lanabanana. Where is Sav-A-Lot? Is that the one in a strip mall on 301?

Oh, I didn't think of Sam's Club. I'm told that the best source of taurine is dark meat chicken or turkey.


Looks like I have some places to check out. Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions.

Adding Answers pet food Raw fermented goats milk and fish stock also adds many beneifits to kibble. the answers products can be purchased at whole earth over near Spanish springs or wolfgangs. as far as the dog foods causing DCM .all the data is not in yet!

I know all the data is not in yet, and my vet recognizes this, but she feels until further studies are completed, why take the chance on a breed that was on the top of the FDA's list to have heart problems. Although he's gone 12 years with no heart issues, I am just playing it safe.



I have several recipes of Dr. Beckers--I like the pup loaf--plus supplements she has recommended. Plus Omegas, and joint supplement. Plus either Kefir or fermented goat's milk. I have one of her books on Kindle.



Thanks for the suggestions. I will check out mercola for sure, and the magazine.
