suburbia is moving out in all directions in atlanta. i am at what is traditionally considered the at the far east of the atlanta metro area, but the reality is that suburbia is popping up as far as 15 miles east of me right now. about 20 miles east of here is a real rural country feed store, boss brothers, that has decided to greet suburbia by building up a really killer dog food department, starting pretty much where walmart ends (science diet) and moving through all the way to recent kill freshly frozen packaged for your pooch. i go there once a month to get a giant bag of innova and something else, whether it is something on special or something i haven't tried before.
the problem with the frozen kill stuff is that it is a bloody mess to work with. it might be the best stuff you can find anywhere, but it is not pleasant to work with. i don't like canned food as it is messy as well and isn't all that much better than kibble. so what to supplement poochies kibble with? i mostly use fresh bones from the butcher, which is clean and great for them. pig tails are a favorite of mine. sometimes, though, the supermarket butcher doesn't have anything to sell you for the dogs and you really don't want to make another trip. anther alternative is cleaned up frozen patties, but generally you can only find these in upscale social conscious area shops (for example, there is a superb shop in morningside/virginia highlands by the mike froedge coffee shop). dick van patten now gives us a third alternative, the equivalent of chubs of salamis for dogs. it has a long shelf life at room temperature (12 months if not opened). easy to work with with a relatively hard consistently and not disgusting at all to handle or smell. the dogs like it too! http://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/dogformulas/DFRolls.html _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
