Thank you for updating us on these unusual products. I've merged the two topics to keep all the Paleo Ridge information together. There are several novel proteins there - possibly useful for dogs with intolerances. I know a couple of pet owners who use these products and find that their dogs like PR because it is in chunks and not minced.

Thanks Dottie. I feed mainly Paleo Ridge Raw. I like their ethics and that they actually mention the abattoirs they use are inspected  "I personally check abattoirs that I purchase from. Having worked at an organic abattoir I am very aware of good practice, high standards and humane slaughter. I will not buy from any source that does not meet high ethical and animal welfare standards. Animal welfare is the highest priority for me when sourcing raw food for my dogs. Intensive factory farming goes hand in hand with poor animal welfare and unsatisfactory conditions". You will often see companies say ethically sourced, DEFRA approved but do not expand further enough for me.

I agree with all you say Seaweed, particularly about animal welfare. Only a couple of months ago I read an article in the news regarding a report looking into the hygiene in UK abattoirs - Fears of ‘dirty meat’ entering food chain after 25% of abattoirs fail tests. 
From the article:

An analysis of government audits carried out at more than 300 abattoirs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland identified major hygiene failings in more than a quarter of the meat plants.

Some of it makes grim reading.

[Seaweed]

Yes Dottie grim reading and it's not like it's the odd abattoir, which is why it is so important dog food companies whether raw, dry or wet communicate far better with their customers over their ethics and the abattoirs they use. Sadly there are other reports that also make grim reading. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3763589/Report-reveals-shocking-levels-animal-cruelty-slaughterhouses.html

That is heart breaking. I cannot understand why this so called 'civilised' country can allow such inhumane treatment.
