Did you mean £1 for 450g?? Ni is only £2.70 for 1kg and the turkey is even cheaper so there's not a lot in it by the time you prepare the veg and other supplements to add to the minced meat/bone. They also make sure that the meat and bone is in the correct proportion.

Hi Mandy, it wasn't really a price thing, more lack of freezer space for buying in bulk from NI. I have an american style fridge freezer which has a great size fridge but a pathetic size freezer because there's a wate/ice dispenser that takes up half the room! Won't be going for that style again in the future :smash: I figured if I could make up my own I could go with fresh but I'd be worried about getting the nutrient mix right especially while he is a puppy so I may go down the route of a separate freezer. Next question is, if i do that, where do I put it?

Hi Sarah .... sorry missed your question... made my patties today.Bought chicken carcuss from the butcher which he minced for me then bought spinach, celery,carrots apple,tomatoes put them raw through a food processor then added eggs with shell, probiotic yogurt and hemp oil (I think you can add any cold pressed oil) but there are certainly a few you can use, and kelp powder from health food shop and then wizzed this with a hand blender in a big pan..... added this to the mincein a washing up bowl and then froze into portions. The meat for 5kg was £3.50... and have got loads, but you could make up accordingly. You can also add cottage cheese and liver but my liver was frozen so thats next time....if you pm me your address I can send you more info .. but the recipe is from "Grow Your Pup with Bones" by Dr Ian Billinghurst. :)

You're very dedicated Karen ;) You're the person I was thinking of who made their own at home. How did you know what mix of meat/bone/veg/mins/vits there should be? Is it in the recipe? I'll have look for that book. Thanks!

We've just got a small chest freezer (about the size of a regular fridge) in the garage.
