I heard back from Raaw Energy - I will call on Monday. I think they may have meant a $25 shipping fee? Is anyone else interested as a 500 pound order is a lot. We would need quite a few people to order. I could order 100 pounds. These would be 50 pound boxes of 5 pound tubes and we would have to decide as a group which 3 products we would want to purchase. I'll also get details on how we would make our payments

Thanks
Elisa

Hello,

I do have some good news I hope It is good new for you.

Please call me on my cell phone I have a plan.

732-299-6718

Would your co -op group be willing to pay .25 shipping fee?

The food would be the same price as on my menu, attached.

Your group could have up to 3 items. For instance:

Chicken Medley

Beef and Chicken With Tripe Medley

Bully Blend

 

Kitt

She may have meant 25 cents per pound shipping fee.

It would help to see the attachment that she mentioned.  I would need more information before knowing if I'm interested.

Sorry--I answered in a rush.  I've read your earlier posts now and will check out their website.

Hi Elisa,

 

First, I want you to know that I am VERY APPRECIATIVE of your work to find us alternative and hopefully cheaper sources of raw food for our pets. It is not an easy thing to find good raw sources because you have to do a lot of research and make some difficult decisions with, often, not enough information. It is really kind of you to take on the this task for all of us. Please do not think that my criticism of this company’s products has anything to do with your efforts on behalf of all of us as it does NOT!

 

I have decided that I will not be ordering from this company. According to their website they use 10% collards in all of their food products and this is not something I want my dogs to consistently eat for several reasons.

 

1)    There is no research indicating that collards are a suitable food for canines at the 10% level. Consistently eating the same single vegetable item can lead to problems with any organism and the brassica family of vegetables is known to inhibit thyroid function when eaten in excess (excessive amount is individual for each organism). Since my male dog is already hypothyroid collards would not be good for him to consume at this level. The company’s use of a single vegetable item at the 10% level is a cheap money-making filler in my opinion.

 

2)   The company’s use of collards as their single (poor choice) vegetable filler makes me believe that the rest of their decisions regarding production are based entirely on profit rather than a balance between producing quality dog food/making a profit.  I do not trust what goes into their products.

 

3)   Here is the toxicity info for collards grown in the US. This vegetable is heavily sprayed for bugs as are all the Brassica family of plants in this country, unless you buy organic, of course. I am quite sure this company does not use organic collards. Here is the link to the info on the pesticide load on collards:   http://www.whatsonmyfood.org/food.jsp?food=GL

 

You might also want to read on that website about the synergistic effect of multiple pesticides used on a food product (definitely the case for collards) which is not even measured by any agency in the US as it is in other developed countries.

 

I know that cost is very important to all of us but I just won’t feed 10% heavily pesticide laden food to save what appears to be a very small amount of money per pound.

 

Thanks,

Trish

Trish - they only have collards in their Medleys - I don't give my dogs veggies . They offer no vegetable mixtures which is what I would be interested in. I can verify this when I speak to them on the phone but that's what it looks like to me.

Oh thanks Elisa – I missed that. I hope you find out that they have some 100% meat & bone mixes. I could also use 100% meat if they have that at a good price and good quality -  I’ll just feed chicken feet and organs with it. Your time to investigate all of this is much appreciated!
