oops, i keep mispelling names all the time dyslexic alzheimer's technodoll...
i normally wait for the bone-in pork roasts to be on sale at 0.99/lbs but it's been a month or two since the kids have had any pork, never on sale during the holidays... this week at Metro it's 1.29/lbs, more than i like to pay but i got 6 small roasts anyways... they'll share 1 per week unless they come on sale again. also picked up 3 tubs of plain yogurt, on sale at $2 each (they freeze well) and a bunch of chickens at $1/lbs, and we've been stocking up all week on the cheap tuna and salmon AND we have a bunch or raw mix (beef and chicken) at $0.54/lbs that should last for a little while...

I try to keep an eye on whats for sale at the supermarket but sadly don't get out very often. Are there days when meats usually go on sale?

I thought pork was bad for dogs. I was told on this board that could cause pancreatitis.

who said that?
raw pork is perfectly safe and a good "red meat", should be part of a balanced raw diet if you can find good sales and if your dog likes it... mine go nuts for it i don't know what effects COOKED pork has on a dog's system though

Actually TD the pork issue has been around for a very long time. In some of the original "raw" books (ie. Kymthy Schultz etc spell?) they said not to feed pork due to "trichinosis". It's the same theory that you always need to cook pork for humans so that there is no "pink" because of the trichinosis worm thingy.
Also, it is not advocated to feed pacific northwest fish either because they have risk of "ricksettsia" which is basically salmon poisoning. |

well trichinosis has been virtually eliminated from the North American pork stocks, so it's really not an issue anymore...

time to update those raw-feeding books, get the current stats right and dispell those myths!

I agree but it is an issue that will probably take some time to change. Even among raw feeders there is a lot of beliefs and differences of opinions on what is the best/correct way to feed raw (just like the kibble debates ).

i have no problem with people not feeding pork to their dogs - more for me! i guess it pays to be progressive, LOL!

mine eat alot of pork, all 'home raised' however.
Guys parents raise their own livestock so we have been getting alot of meat and "scraps' through them.. Their dog has always eaten the raw leftovers and he is 12 year old healthy as a horse run of the mill farm dog. I dont think he has ever eaten a kibble in his life. Luckily for us i guess, that Guys parents are very orgainic. Strongly believe in all natural feeds and care. Or should i say lucky for our doggies The only downside to pork that i have come across so far is the GAS seems to be one of the main meats that are fed to them, that cause the FARTS!

Its the fattier cuts TD. I do give digestive enzymes for Pork and some beef cuts. Kita seems to be the most sensitive to the gassyness of the pork, but she does LOVE it so... I think she is gulping, she shakes all over, in excitement almost, when she see's its pork I guess its her fav Puppy doesnt really react to anything... he is a tank... and an "always empty" one at that too ( not literally but i am convinced he has an eating disorder... if that is possible for dogs )
B hasnt had anything other than chicken just yet, he is still very unsure of the whole idea... likes his veggies though
