Moe’s Meats loves to sell Tripe!

Tripe is made from the first three chambers of a cow’s stomach and dogs love it! Wiki has this to say about tripe: “…this content is desirable to dogs and many other carnivores and is often used in pet food. Though it is called “green,” because it has a high chlorophyll content a green substrate, in reality it is often grayish brown as a result of other undigested compounds.” All those undigested compunds make it highly nutritious for pet

If you’ve never fed your pet raw tripe or you’re interested in starting on the raw meat diet, check out Moe’s Meats Meats-n-Treats page to see all our offerings: http://www.moesmeats.com/meats_n_treats

Mmmmm Tripe!

Satchel asked that I send word to his buyers that he is back from Summer Camp and ready to start selling meat again. As you can see, he is resting from his adventures, which means I will probably be taking your order while he sleeps.

Looking forward to hearing from you…..Meat Woman.

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.

LOVE MAJI!!!!

people and dog owners,

this is moe, owner and operator of Moe’s Meats, LLC – Portland’s finest distributer of raw meat for dogs and cats. listen:

last Friday, I, moe, tried going to what is commonly called a “networking” group. kind of like a dog park for people, you know?

anyway, get a load of this: they, the people, would not let me join? at first, you know, I thought it was because I wasn’t, you know, wearing pants. but NO!

they, the people, wouldn’t let me join because I, moe, was a dog. could you believe that?

after I peed on a nearby plastic plant (not to mention the “surprise” I left near the stairwell), I, moe, decided to start my OWN networking group.

and that group’s name is MEAT: Moe’s Entrepreneurial Action Team.

now – being an equal opportunity business owner and dog, I, moe, would like to invite you, a person, to join MEAT. all you have to do is, like, tell me what would be a good business referral for you, while at the same time, like, you know, help me get business too.

it’s a good model.

once a week (starting this week), I, moe, will post what will be a good referral. you, person, can leave a comment telling me how I can help you.

(m)Okay –

hi. moe here.

if you’re a member of the Portland Timebank, and really, who isn’t, your able to pay 10% of your meat order with timedollars (limit $10). that’s a great deal because, like, you’re not using real money, just, like, time.

if you don’t know what the Portland Timebank is, then you’re missing out. however, you can, like, join at any time. it works so that you offer services that you enjoy doing – pulling weeds, dog walking, dog feeding, cleaning poop and you “purchase” services from other people that you need – book keeping, back massage, reiki healing – stuff like that. it’s equal hour for hour, no matter if you’re an attorney or own a doggie day care.

so, like, check out the new economy, man. and buy some raw meat with it.

Yes! Yes! Yes! We love turkey necks! Moe’s Meats will be carrying turkey necks all summer, as long as he is able to keep them in stock (they are difficult to come by in the Portland area). Turkey necks are a great way to naturally clean a dog’s teeth while providing them with great nutrition.

The turkey necks also provide great varity to your loved ones diet and most dogs really enjoy noshing on them.

Give Moe’s Meats turkey necks a try and see what your dog thinks. 

Turkey Necks

Satchel gnawing on a rec bone

What better time of the year to be outside for hours and enjoy some raw meat right off the bone? I always tell customers that rec bones are like TV for dogs. Need to clean the house or run to the store without walking your puppy? Throw them a rec bone and watch them be content for hours.

The chewing action releases relaxing hormones and the outside air tires them out. After working down a bone, they pup will usually come inside, gulp water, then pass out for the next few hours.

And it’s totally safe to leave half chewed bones outside until the next time puppy is ready to eat on them. Satchel calls this “letting the bones season” and our grass is pretty much a bone yard. We’ll toss the bones every now and then, but really they don’t bother us and they never make our dogs sick. Occasionally, the flies get annoying and in the very hottest part of the day it smells like raw meat, but both those issues only last for a short window of time.

So check out Moe’s selection of raw, meaty bones. They come in small, medium and large. Medium usually being bigger than a man’s palm and large can mean as big as your arm. Moe tries to keep the smaller medium size always in stock in the summer. For his smaller customers, the lamb bone tray is a great option as well.

people,

this is moe. just got done R&D’ing three turkey necks. the results: huge. and, delicious.

as you know, I love R&D’ing my product, so, like, if you want to buy some turkey necks, you should, like, place an order soon.

Moe’s Meats now has Cow Pie on the menu. Believe it or not, we have had requests for this lovely tube of meat. If you have never heard of it before, it’s a deliticable combination of tripe, beef, and beef heart and kidney. Perfect for the dog or cat that loves both tripe and beef. And really, who doesn’t?

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.

Hi,

This is Meat Woman, using moe’s login to let you know that we will be out of the office until May 11. In the meantime, feel free to email us your meat orders or question, and we’ll get back to you on Monday.

Cheers!

i set myself to say
not here

when you call me
or write

but then
how could i be

that far away
from my bowl?

some days, Woman dresses
in pink pajamas
like rabbit meat
in my bowl

Tonight I wait at the door
waiting for woman or boy to walk through
while my roommate licks her backside

Upstairs
the boy sleeps

Downstairs
woman reads

Outside
my bowl fills with rain

Ah, the joys of feeding dogs raw meat.

I WROTE THIS POEM FOR MAMA WHEN I WATCHED HER RIDE AWAY: 

more
often
excited
surely

meat
eaten
albeit
tomorrow

I can’t believe it was only yesterday
that I last ate supper

Thank you.

If there was only one choice I had
as a dog
as a companion
as a ruler

It would be to eat tripe out of a ceramic bowl
on the deck
while woman watched, naked, from the hammock

These words
so true and powerful
have been written for you, my dear loved sister
for it is on this day
that you first handed me your rawhide
half chewed and smelling sweetly of your breakfast
from the morning before.

Is there anything greater
          I ask
Than watching your pet linger with her bowl
              linger with her happiness

reality
always
wanted

meals
eaten
alongside
trees

HI!!! THIS IS MAJI AND I WANT TO SHARE A POEM I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT MY HERITAGE.

I AM A RUSSELTARIAN BEAGLEBACK
I AM A RUSSELTARIAN BEAGLEBACK

I SAW THIS WITH PRIDE
I SAW THIS WITH PRIDE
I SAW THIS WITH PRIDE

to you
i write
for you
i am
with me

in the portland rain
one can only hope to find
themselves

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.

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!
