Hi Potential Buyer,
We are a residence operating as an LLC in NE Portland off of 15th street. How Moe’s Meats works is we can chat on the phone or via email to answer all your questions, then when you place an order you select a time to pick up the meat and we deliver it to your car – so no shopping time required.
Moe’s Meats sells local, antibiotic and hormone free meats, that are USDA inspected (though not for human consumption b/c the ground meat does contain bone). We sell Columbia River Valley meats because we found them to be of the highest quality that is also the most affordable.
Our ground meat is sold in tubes called chubs that equal 2 pounds of meat. If you own dogs, all dogs should also be getting ground veggies with every meal. We sell meat that comes with veggies (80% meat & 20% veggies) and we sell 1.5 pound veggie packs that allow you to control the amount of veggies you add to their meal.
In case you didn’t notice, the Shop Meat section lists all our products and the prices: http://www.moesmeats.com/shop_meat
If you have any questions Potential Buyer, just let me know.

Hello Pet Owners,
Have you heard about the raw meat pet food diet but didn’t know where to start? Or have you been feeding your dog or cat raw meat for years and are looking for a way to continue with the raw meat diet AND save money?
Well, Moe’s Meats is the right place to start. Because Moe’s Meats is an LLC operating out of a residence, we’re able to offer ground raw meat and whole bones below the cost of what retail outlets are selling (we don’t have as much overhead as they do).
How it works is you give us a call (503.245.2853) or send up an email (moe@moesmeats.com) with your order (or questions) and we arrange a day and time that works for you to pick it up. Your arrive at our NE Portland home (off of 15th Street, about a mile north of Alberta) and beep your horn. We deliver your order to your car and accept payment (cash or check) from you then. There is no shopping time required.
Check out our meat selection page here: http://www.moesmeats.com/shop_meat
and we look forward to meeting you soon!
Hi everyone,
MeatBoy here. Moe asked that I write a quick note about the benefits of organ meats, and how you can make it work for your budget. We’ve been taking a lot of calls about organ meats lately, so here goes.
Organ meats are extremely lean, and extremely rich in nutrients, iron, healthy oils, and protein, to name a few. Moe’s Meats carries an organ meat blend that includes heart, liver and kidney, and when ordering, you can request certain blends if you choose. (We’ll do our best to accommodate.)
Because organ meats are so rich in vitamins and nutrients, we suggest, rather than feeding a whole bowl of organ meats, you approach them as a way to enhance and boost your pup’s meal. (It’s a little different if you’re feeding a cat; then, we suggest going straight organ meat for the furry little carnivore in your life.)
Here at Moe’s we offer a number of options to make sure you get organ meat in your pet’s diet: a beef blend that includes heart; two chicken blends with buffalo heart and liver; and a turkey blend with beef heart.
You can also decide to buy straight organ meat by the pound, which gives you an extra level of control when choosing how to augment and enhance your dog’s meal. You can easily divvy out a pound of organ meat over the course of four or five meals, can mix it in for a special treat now and then, or can make sure they have some in their bowl after an especially rigorous workout such as a day romping at the beach or traversing the wilderness.
If you have questions about organ meat, or any other meat for that matter, just call Moe’s at 503-245-2853. We’ll be happy to talk with you.

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

Similar to allopathic doctors, most vets aren’t taught about natural nutrition during their schooling. Usually what happens is a representative from a major dog food label attends one class and talks about balanced nutrition and how their dog food can help with X diseases.
If you find a vet that is a naturopath that has studied acupuncture, herbs and the like, than you have most likely found yourself a vet that has done the research on the raw meat diet.
Portland, Oregon has some great natural pet healers. Moe prefers to visit Hawthorne Vet Clinic in the SE. There he can receive all sorts of lovely healing modalities, as well as sound advice. Check them out the next time your pet needs some natural healing, or just a check up.
It’s natural to be worried about gross meat germs when feeding the raw meat diet. Will my dog or cat get sick? Will I get sick? Will my kitchen be totally filled with bacteria from all the raw meat.
If you have the space, I suggest preparing the meat in a separate place from where you prepare your own food. Perhaps a laundry room, garage or kosher kitchen. I like to wear dishing gloves when I make my own pet food. In fact, I don’t even touch human raw meat – generally I ask Dave to do it.
All meat, regardless of organic status, contains bacteria. Moe’s Meats sells human grade meat, which means it’s as good as what you can buy in the grocery store. Luckily, dogs and cats have a digestive system that is teeming with wonderful enzymes and probiotics that break down the harmful bacteria in the raw meat and allow it to digest without trouble.
It is rare that a pet fed on the raw meat diet will have parasites or bacteria problems. On the raw meat their system is primed to handle all the nasties usually found in raw meat.
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.
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.
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.

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…..
Buffalo (aka Bison) is one of the healthiest meats you can feed your pet. It has a lower fat content than chicken and 25% more protein than beef. Not to mention Bison has 69% more Iron than beef. Because of it’s low fat and high protein content it makes it really easy for dogs and cats with allergies or stomach issues to digest.
All Bison is grass-fed and can never be raised on a farm – another great reason to try Bison.
Call Moe’s Meats to find out more. We are located in NE Portland and deliver right to your car.

Ahhh – Here at Moe’s Meats we love CHICKEN FEET! Though they can be gross looking, chicken feet are an amazing source of nutrients for your dog. As long as the chicken feet are raw and never ever cooked, they make a wonderful meal.
If your dog is young and you are worried he might swallow the chicken feet whole, you can always hold the chicken feet for your pup so he can eat the foot in stages.
Pulled from an August post, here are some chicken feet feeding tips:
1. Don’t look closely at the feet
2. Don’t listen to the sounds of scratching nails as you dump the package into the bowl
3. Don’t watch your pup eat the feet because inevitably your dog will look up at you with a foot hanging out of it’s mouth
4. No, you don’t need to clip the nails before feeding
5. Yes, they are considered a full meal
6. No, it won’t hurt coming out the other end
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?

There is nothing finer than digger through 300 pounds of meat to find 3 tubes of rabbit. Any chance to wear my headlamp.
Satchel has this message for all Portland pet owners:
buy local.
eat raw.
support homemade pet food.
shop at moe’s meats.
HI!!! THIS IS MAJI!!!
I WANT TO SHARE THIS VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
A TREAT IS A TREAT. A BEAGLE’S BAGEL IS AN EVENT.
