Pupdate on Greentripe.com Xkaliber & Ark Naturals Sea Mobility

First of all my pups ADORE the greentripe.com Xkaliber; even the cat took a little nibble. Of course every time I divide up a 5Lb chub of it I have gaurds. You know, just in case crazy axe weilding food theives break into the house. The dogs are just making sure I’m…well the food is safe. I only feed it once a week, but I really like it because it’s A.) easy on my pocket book, and B.) includes both cow heart and tongue, which I would otherwise have to provide seperately. There is a small downside though; like the “GTT” product it does have a bit of a smell. The plain green tripe and tripe/organ meat blend don’t bother me at all, but the smell off the GTT makes me really nauseas. The Xkaliber isn’t that bad, but I can definitely smell a hint of the same GTT aroma. Overall though I’m perfectly happy with it, and because of the above mentioned benefits I’m more than willing to keep it in the diet.

Secondly I am also pleased with the Ark Naturals Sea Mobility jerky treats. I’ve been feeding them about 6 weeks  now, and have not noticed any adverse affects. The dogs really enjoy them, and it’s their special “before bedtime” treat. I normally feed it about 11p, and the dogs now come in the house around 10:30p and wait for them. After that they both curl up and go to sleep for the night. I have found that iHerb.com has the best price on them.

Lastly I will be recieving a SCB order this weekend with a number of new products including: beef cheek meat, pork hearts, turkey hearts, and whole ducks. I am not thrilled with including the whole ducks since they’re not easy to butcher, but Abby doesn’t chew turkey necks thoroughly enough and quite often will throw up pieces of bone the next day, so I had to find a substitute for them. Pepper will be thrilled since she loves duck I will update about the new products when I get a chance, but with almost 200Lbs of food to divide up it may be a few days. We will also be getting lamb breasts, whole mackerel, lean pork trim, and chicken liver and gizzards, all of which we’ve gotten before.
