To welcome the beginning of fall and a new meat buying season Moe’s Meats has re-organized our product page. No longer is Meats-n-Treats called Meats-n-Treats.

Let us know what you think of our changes!

Hello Raw Meat Pet Food Keepers.

Moe asked me to write some words about veggies. Since it’s summer, the bounty is plentyful and Moe would all pet owners to remember that their loved one love veggies with their meat.

All dogs and some cats do require veggies with their raw meat diet. They digest vegetables best if they are grounded in a food processor. The easiest way to feed your pet veggies is to buy meat that already contains ground veggies in it. This is also a good way to convince the boarding kennel or dog sitter that feeding the raw meat diet isn’t that much work.

Moe’s Meats sells 4 types of meat that contain yummy greens (and oranges and yellows):

Beef w/ Heart and Mixed Veggies
Beef w/ Heart and Mixed Veggies 80% ground beef and heart. 20% fresh frozen veggies.
$6.50 / 2 lbs

Chicken w/ Mixed Veggies
80% ground chicken backs, necks, wings, heart and liver. 20% fresh frozen veggies.
$4.00 / 2 lbs

Duck w/ Mixed Veggies
80% ground Muscovy duck and 20% fresh frozen veggies.
$5.00 / 2 lbs

Turkey w/ Mixed Veggies
80% ground Turkey necks and 20% of fresh frozen veggies.
$4.50 / 2 lbs

Moe’s Meats also sells 1.5 containers of pre-ground veggie to supplement your natural, raw meat diet.

Check out our full selection of meats and veggies on the Meats-n-Treats page: http://www.moesmeats.com/meats_n_treats

If you have any questions or would like to place an order, give us a call at 503.245.2853 or send moe an email: moe@moesmeats.com

hi, my name is satchel, owner of moe’s meats, Portland’s finest distributer of fine raw meat for dogs and cats. a good referral for me RIGHT NOW is: who do you know who wants to feed their beloved animals chicken with vegetables? as you know, chicken is very tasty, and chicken with vegetables is, like, really really tasty.

so, like, if you want to feed your dog or cat chicken with vegetables THIS WEEK, you’d be, like, a great person, and, like, a great referral.

later, like, i’m going to post pictures of me, moe, tending to my flock of chickens with vegetables. right now, however, it’s too hot, and, you know, i have work to do on the couch, where it’s always safe and cool.

thankyou

like, you know, this prompt comes from MeatRightPoem, a, you know, writing site.

WHALE MEAT

why wish for your words
when all but dogs disguise
the fact that knowning what
we want waits in juice
inside clean bowls.

thankyou

Moe Waiting For Your Questions

dear readers. this is moe.
Moe’s Meats, that’s my business, prides itself on, you know, being an educational resource for pet owners.
because of that, i, as a business owner, look forward to hearing from you, a dog or cat owner.
i want to answer your questions and provide you with, like, the most current, science-based evidence and research about the raw meat diet.
i’ve hired my people, Boy and Woman, to answer the phones. as a business owner, i, like, need to be protective of my time, so, like, i’ve hired the best. please don’t be alarmed that i, personally, won’t be taking every phone call. rest assured that, like, i’m usually laying right next to Woman when she’s talking to you. Boy, is usually, like, pacing when he’s on the phone. 

i, like, digress though.
call me, Moe’s Meats, and have all your questions answered about the raw meat diet in Portland, Oregon.

Allergies are super common among dogs, especially allergies to wheat. Their systems react the same way to repetitive foods as humans, they develop an intolerance to that food. If you were to eat wheat everyday and at every meal, chances are high that you would become sensitive to wheat – same with dogs.

A diet of raw meat can help that situation. Start giving your dog 3/4 their regular diet and 1/4 raw meat. AT the very least, stick with half kibble and half meat – that might help the situation. If it doesn’t then transition fully to the raw meat diet.

Give Moe’s Meats a call and we can help with that transition.

Meat Woman Taking an Order

hi. this is moe.

pictured above is Meat Woman on the phone with a new customer. is that you on the other line? was it you asking how to best transition from dry kibble to bloody meat? every call is welcomed here at Moe’s Meats.

Some Moe’s Meats customers like to buy whole bones from us and grind up their own fresh meat. What kind of meat grinder does Moe recommend?

The Maverick Grinder is  top quality grinder that will do the job perfectly. We’ve heard from many folks that they have been using this type of machine to grind up raw chicken backs, turkey necks, and wings for their dogs and cats.

Worried that your dog or cat is allergic to something in their raw meat diet? The best approach is to feed them one type of meat for a short time. That means no supplements or cookies or veggies. After a few days begin to add a second variety of meat back into the diet. Continue with the two meats and see what happens.

Watch for an allergic reaction each time you add something new to their diet. It may even be helpful to keep a food log of what meats, cookies (and their ingredients) and supplements you are introducing back into their diet.

If you can’t figure out what is making your dog or cat allergic – start to look at your environment. Dust? Material? Shampoo? Fleas? Vaccination? It may not always be their diet.

Good luck!

People often ask what foods should their pet stay away from. Below is a solid list pulled from Moe’s FAQ section title About Meat.

Chocolate

Chocolate contains  theobromine, a cardiac stimulant that can cause  dogs to become hyperactive, thirsty, and suffer an irregular or increased heart rate.

Raisins and grapes

Though it’s fun to watch your dog catch grapes or raisins in their mouth, use popcorn instead. Both raisins and grapes can cause liver failure in dogs.

Onions

Raw, cooked, dried – it’s all bad. Onions contain thiosulphate, which causes red blood cells to explode.

Cobs of corn

Choking hazard that is worth mentioning.

Macadamia nuts

Macadamia nuts can cause tremor, weakness, and paralysis.

Fruit seeds

Pear seeds, apple seeds, peach, plum, apricot pits all contain trace amounts of cyanide. Rarely harmful, but important enough to be aware of.

Caffeine

Caffeine can cause hyperactivity, tremors, or seizures.  That means no soda, coffee or non-herbal tea.

Alcohol, Tobacco and street drugs

That’s just not cool.

Yeast dough/bread dough

Dough continues to rise in your pet’s stomach and can make them uncomfortable.

The key to transitioning your dog to the raw diet is to start slow. Their first raw meal should be 3/4 what they normally eat and 1/4 raw meat. You can slowly work your way from there. If you do notice they have a belly ache, pick up some digestive enzymes at your grocery store and give them a pill with each meal until the bottle is finished. By that time they should be fine with eating raw.

After a lifetime of processed foods, you’ll want to start slow during this transition to raw for your senior pet. Just like with any pet that is new to the raw meat diet, start slow. Their first raw meal should be 3/4 what they normally eat and 1/4 raw meat. You can slowly work your way from there. Pick up some digestive enzymes at your grocery store during their transition and give them a pill with each meal until the bottle is finished. By that time they should be fine with eating raw.

As for the raw meat selection, begin with bland – chicken and turkey. Avoid the richer and fattier meats like organs and duck until your senior pet is used to the raw diet.

Yellow bile?

That means your dog’s belly is totally empty and needs to be fed more. This was happening about once a week in the morning to Maji. We finally realized that she needed a little extra food for dinner and everything would be ok.

Clear foam?
Did your pup drink too much water too fast? Your pup also probably has an empty belly and needs a little more food. 

How to help?
Unsweet applesause or Slippery Elm Powder can help an upset belly. Probiotics and digestive enzymes are good as well. If you’re concerned, take your pup to your vet.

hello friends. if you would like your picture added to my friend’s page, please email moe@moesmeats.com. it’s good to be famous.

Yes. Yes. YES.

a note that this morning, eating my raw beef with pureed veggies and brown rice out on the deck, I, like, you know, saw my shadow, which means AT LEAST six-more weeks of raw meat for all the dogs and cats in Portland until, you know, I eat it for myself. 

respectfully,
Moe

dear meat eaters,

today i declare bison day.
that means every raw meat dog and cat eater should consider eating bison today.
it’s a great red meat. high in protein and super lean.
read on for more great bison attributes…..

When digging through the deep freezer in the garage, protecting my hands is critical. I wear gloves all the time and keep warm with a wool sweater. Isn’t it nice to know this?

Meat Miner Courtney Doll

There is nothing finer than digger through 300 pounds of meat to find 3 tubes of rabbit. Any chance to wear my headlamp.
