knobbles Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 thanks anyway nadia, but my poor girl is on a special diet as she has had some crazy health problems of late... hopefully we can get her on to something that will put a few kilos back on her soon! Where is this leonards that everyone's talking about anyway?? Is it a human butcher or a pet supply shop? Is the roo and chicken mix from pet barn labbelled "semi lean mince"??

Nadia Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Lenards is a human chicken products outlet, like a butchers but specialising in chicken. Their chicken pet mince, is simply offcuts from the making of specialty chicken dishes, and frames etc minced. So it is from human consumption quality chicken.

Mana Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Where is this leonards that everyone's talking about anyway?? Is it a human butcher or a pet supply shop? It's a human chook shop, a franchise, there's a store locator on the website HERE. (Okay, I'm feeling like a goody-two-shoes... :D) Is the roo and chicken mix from pet barn labelled "semi lean mince"?? Just went to look in the freezer but I only have the chicken mince left. It certainly said chicken and kangaroo on the label cause that's the only way that I knew that that is what it was... if that makes sense! ie I wasn't relying on the lean/premium/semi-lean description. It was from the PetBarn near Chatswood. I made up a huge pulp mix (filled the entire kitchen sink ---- bluuurrrk) with the kangaroo /chicken mince and all the veges and additives and offal etc - so I'm still feeding it but it's not in the original wrapping. :D I'll have a look next week when I'm in Sydney knobbles.

Lozzie Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi all, I used to work in a chicken shop and my job was bagging up the pet mince. Haven't tried it with coco yet, but we never had any complaints. There was one guy that used to come in and buy a few kilo bags for himself... By the way, slightly off track, i saw a thing on better homes & gardens the other night where there was an underweight dog with dr harry and he recommended a particular bit of meat that you get from the butcher, grill it and scrunch it up, and it acts as an appetite stimulant. Does anyone know what he was talking about? Cheers Lozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I find with my local Lenards that the chicken needs to be fed within 12hrs, it seems to go off extremely quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster's Mum Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 What colour should chicken pet mince be? I just bought some from my local chicken shop and it is really pinky red. They told me it was Maryland pieces and carcases all ground up but I'm not sure I believe them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catzatsea Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 We prefer Turkey Mince, much lower in fat and gentler on the tummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy my mince from Lenards and it is a nice pinky red colour, it is ground frames and offcuts etc. The colour comes from the frames etc. Lenards do not add preservatives etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smisch Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 We give our dog the chunckers that you get in the super market in the fresh pet food and we like them, except they smell like garlic but pet meat is pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borzoi Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I find chicken mince good for dogs that need alot of food or that drop weight easy.We fed our danes it and they where perfect weight but our smaller dog kept putting on to much weight.You dont need much and mix it with biscuits.Its how i get my fussy dog to eat biscuits.
