Animal And Company: Re: [boxer lovers] Re: WANTED: INFORMATION ON WHAT YOU FEED YOUR BOXERS

Actually, in comparison, Meg actually probably eats a better quality
meat than I do. I SHOULD buy all my beef from the same butcher I get
Meg's food. But it's just enough pricey I settle for the store product.
Meg is eating locally raised, grass fed, not technically "organic," but
might as well be, beef. She gets the "scraps" left from the slaughter
which includes bone, organ (liver, stomach, etc), some esophagus, meat
and fat, etc. It may not be perfectly mixed in every bite, but
generally, she gets everything she needs within a couple of days. And
I'd hazard to guess HER food is processed under cleaner safer conditions
than commercial beef I'm eating!
