Treats and possible switcher food

[allenya]

So I went to one of the pet stores near home after work and before meeting friends for dinner.

I was in search of some sort of jerky or dried fish treats and to also look to see what I could find for commercial raw food.

I did find one type of commercial raw but all the ones they carried had veggies so I shall look else where. I also wasn't sure about any of the jerkies I found. However I did find a few freeze dried treats, some salmon pieces and salmon oil.

Heres what I got: (Pictures are again click-able thumbnails.)


First is the Salmon Oil.

These are small pieces, smaller then kibbled and can be broken even smaller and used as treats for food sprinkles. 4.99 for a 2oz/56.5g bag.

The freeze dried treats. These come in three different sized bags. Small ones for cats, and two sizes for dogs. There where three flavors all together. Ocean Whitefish for just the cats, as well as chicken breast for both and beef liver for both. I got one of each, Ocean Whitefish and beef cat ones at 2.99 for 0.39oz/11g(Fish) and 0.85 oz/24g(beef). I got the chicken in the smaller dog size because the cat was sold out. It was 4.49 for 1.4oz/40g.

All in all I'm going to give these a try and see how things go. I hope they like these as treats.

All you can do is try, I have some who adore free dried meat and other who could care less, never tried a fish one, but liver is 50/50 with my crew and they all like chicken.

I thought I'd already posted this Oh, well Here are two really good commercial raw foods specifically for Canada:
Here are the retailers for Urban Carnivore in BC:
www.carnivora.ca/html/retailers/index.cfm
Another good commercial raw is Red Dog Blue Kat:

And I believe the last is a BC company, as well.
