Hi, folks!

No news is good news . . . I haven't been posting lately because after the first couple of weeks, my guys seem to be doing really well. THANKS again for all the support and encouragement.

We're still learning, since it's only been a couple of months. smile

Just wondering if anyone knows of a meat-buying co-op in the Ottawa area??

Thanks again!

Audrey, Chaucer and Cleo

I haven't seen a co-op for Ottawa, but have you checked these groups? Sometimes I see people posting that they have an abundance of things they'd like to get rid of.

Het, Sedona -

THANKS! I'll check them out, and hopefully, I can find one, or maybe start one, if need be. I can't be the only rawfeeder here! smile

Unfortunately there's not much going on co-op or group wise yet in Canada. A website you can find at: http://www.dogaware.com/dogfeeding.html#co-ops is the best list of groups in North America. 3 listings for Canada are at the bottom. As far as I know our group in Calgary is the only actual buyers group that exists here, but there are other companies that deal with raw food for a profit. I think it's high time that more buyers groups and co-ops started here in Canada!

Hi, Meridian -

Thanks - I agree with you that it's high time we had more groups here in Canada. I belong to another rawfeeding list, and some of the low meat prices people have mentioned there are beyond belief! smile

Since I have two large dogs, it's pretty expensive to buy "meaty" meat at grocery store or butcher prices, and I believe a co-op or buying group would significantly reduce costs.

Good for you, Calgary!

Definitely go on the CanadianRawsupply site on yahoo (link posted above) and do a search for `Ottawa` or check the files. I know I have read some Ottawa stuff on there in the past, but I can`t remember exactly what for!

Glad to hear that you're doing well! I just wanted to point out that if there isn't an Ottawa co-op, you could make one. smile

Checked out the links kindly provided - thanks! So far, have not found a co-op even close to where I am.

I guess I'll have to look into starting one! smile
