The deal with organ meats

Moe — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:39:28 +0000

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.

Food to Avoid When Feeding Raw Meat

Moe — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 11:45:07 +0000

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.

How Do I Integrate Raw Meat Into My Pet’s Diet?

Moe — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 22:28:24 +0000

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.

Is My Pet Too Old to Start the Raw Meat Diet

Moe — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 11:24:11 +0000

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.

Great Dog Consumer Site

Moe — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 12:16:23 +0000

A client of Moe’s Meats turned us on to this Dog Aware, a wonderful resource of information. Because the site is unfunded, this is a good place to look for lay-person info regarding your pet’s health and diet.

Thanks to sites like this, pet owners are able to get accurate information regarding their pet’s health and diet.
