puggy_puggy Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Yep apparentley the Frosty Paws BARF patties have been around in WA for a while. But kowing the VIP have lots of presevatives in their other pet food I probably wouldn't trust this stuff either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff'n'Toller Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) I guess it's all about the type/quality of meats used... ETA: The ingredients look ok. Edited October 6, 2008 by Staff'n'Toller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Rules Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) I guess it's all about the type/quality of meats used... ETA: The ingredients look ok. True but how do you know what's in other barf patties? I just don't have the time or inclination to make them so considering my boy gets mostly a prey model diet, he'd probably quite enjoy something like this for a change. ETA: Actually he's a Goldie so he eats anything ;) Edited October 6, 2008 by ~ArtyFarty~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have been using these for my kids for a couple of months - not all the time - just every now and again. You can get two varieties and you can get them from Coles as well as IGA. They are not as big as BARF patties and don't look to have as many veges in them - but they didn't last very long in the kids bowls. There are 10 patties in a packet and they cost $4.79 for a packet.

That's pretty good value I've never looked in the freezers at either supermarket as I don't buy the pet food there - but I see on the website they do raw cat food as well so I'm about to start the taste test (well, the pets are) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Does anyone know the weight for a pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarriLab Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 These sound interesting. Think I might give them a try. I have been using these for my kids for a couple of months - not all the time - just every now and again. You can get two varieties and you can get them from Coles as well as IGA. They are not as big as BARF patties and don't look to have as many veges in them - but they didn't last very long in the kids bowls. There are 10 patties in a packet and they cost $4.79 for a packet. Ptolomy (or anyone) can you tell me how many patties I might need to feed my 6 month lab if I was feeding them for 1 of her 2 meals per day?

Jey Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Sounds cheap and it's easy for me to puree the vegies. Takes up less space than all the meat, throw in the odd bone to munch on and we solved our holiday food storage problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) Chocolate, it says 1kg on the website Edited October 6, 2008 by ~ArtyFarty~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I was giving my kids 1- 1 1/2 patties for an evening meal - most of my kids weigh 16-23kg, and they would probably all be having training treats at night as well. With the patties I also give them plain brand frozen mixed veges, probably 1/2 cup. AS I said there are 10 patties per bag and two flavours - beef, and lamb and chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
