    Yes. I've used it with the last 6 months as the vet suggested a raw diet for my dog but honestly, the expense and us not being big meat eaters,I just couldn't do it!

    So these were the next alternative. Our dog is a very poor eater, isn't motivated by dinners, could easily sit and look at the dinner for hours until coaxed. Long story short, she loves it. And usually eats straight away.

    Delivery is spot on,but I prefer An post delivery rather than DPD primarily because An post delivers early in the morning and it's done!. But you d no choice, it's random, but they do deliver on the selected day.

    You need quite a bit of space in your freezer and contrainer in the fridge for the few defrosting for the few days ahead.

    It is expensive, but I was buying chicken, steaks etc to cook and add to kibble, so it evens up the cost all taken into account.

    Thanks so much for the reply- greatly appreciated - so freezer space required - right- might need to explore a very small standalone freezer - hmmm ok .

    I tried it with my guys twice - giant poos and farted the house down vs raw due to all the veg. I actually ended up giving loads of it away the second time we tried it! Cost wise vs raw for 2 x retrievers it was a just too expensive. (I buy pre-made raw) If you’re looking into freezers get a frost free one if you can. I have both an under counter regular freezer and tall frost free in the shed. I have to defrost the under counter one a few times a year - the frost free takes care of itself!

    Our poos regulated and were much more decent to pick up, retriever x. No sloppy ones! Farts are no more since we moved over, so perhaps it's just a trial and see would be best advice.
