Raw feeding / Cotswold Raw

« on: Dec 10, 2018, 09:18 »

Noticed Cotswold Raw offer a 3kg trial pack including free postage, (Woolcool liner), three active 80/20 mince and three active 80/20 sausage packs, in 500g sizes. This may be the first time I've seen raw food packs as low as 3kg, as the norm seems to be 5kg minimum to keep it frozen. Woolcool must be doing it's job.
