Ok, so I am KIND of getting the jist of the raw feeding thing... maybe. I can't source meat just 'at the shops' because it doesn't work like that, and it'll be very expensive.
So I'm looking for people who deliver meat.
So far this website seems to be reasonably priced (I did find one better, but they don't deliver GRR):

I like the look of this:
http://www.nurturingbynature.co.uk/bulk_buy_selection_pack_48_in_box_p/48pk400gspk.htm
Selection pack of 32 400g Chicken & Chicken mixes & 16 400g blixed fruit and vegetable
Contents: 16 x 100% Minced Chicken, 8 Minced Chicken and Oily Fish, 8 Minced Chicken and Tripe, 16 400g blixed fruit and vegetable
Would 400g = one meal for Bodhi (she's approx 20kg or 44lb), or would she need two??
32 packs would either last her a month, or 2 weeks... if it's 2 weeks that's PRETTY expensive............! Add another dog to the mix and it's VERY VERY expensive.
I spend about £40/month on her food as it is, so I'd be happy to pay £40 on meat a month.
Would I need to add anything else? You can buy chicken carcasses too which look cheap, so I could mix them up into it. And they sell lamb ribs... Would I just give one of those a week to subsitute a soft meal?
What would you order off there, and how much would it come too?
If I do it for Bodhi, I am assuming I will do it for no name puppy, and price is a massive factor for me... plus if I am bulk buying for 2 dogs it may work the price down a bit.
HALP.
Would they need anything other than what I was buying (chicken, chicken & fish, chicken & tripe, chicken carcasses, lamb ribs, veggies pulped)??? I know they need organ meat tooo??
They do sell this seperately too:
http://www.nurturingbynature.co.uk/Minced_Chicken_Mixed_Offals_400g_p/mchmo400g.htm
Composition: Chicken (meat, Cartilage & Bone) & Mixed Lamb / Beef / Pork Offals
