Formulated and prepared by the DEFRA approved Devon manufacturer using ethically and locally sourced UK poultry, this high-bone option is crafted from fresh, medium-fat minced turkey carcasses. Departing entirely from uniform, fine purées, this product is passed through a large 13mm plate to preserve a chunky, distinct texture that retains a satisfyingly moist mouthfeel while giving raw feeding enthusiasts total structural control over custom dietary blueprints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the framework of canine ancestral nutrition, this product is classified strictly as a high-bone complementary raw feed component. Because a standard daily raw meal requires an overall structural bone allocation of just 10%, this blend is purposefully designed not to be fed on its own as a standalone meal. Instead, its exceptionally high 50% bone concentration serves as a valuable balancing tool within a weekly raw rotation. It is ideal for neutralizing meal plans that incorporate lower-bone or purely boneless proteins, offsetting offal-heavy batches, or catering to individual dogs that require elevated dietary calcium levels to maintain proper stool consistency and optimal gastrointestinal transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from trusted British farms, the turkey carcass base provides a lean, easily digestible poultry foundation packed with essential high-quality proteins and amino acids to sustain daily physical stamina and fuel healthy tissue repair. The ground poultry bone matrices supply a massive, perfectly bioavailable surge of natural calcium, phosphorus, and essential structural minerals. This dense mineral profile works systematically to support long-term skeletal density and joint health. The coarse, bone-heavy configuration also provides crucial mechanical support for oral health, helping to clean teeth and massage gums during consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnimal Type: Domestic dogs and working dogs. Strictly not for human consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreed Size: All breeds and sizes; the coarse 13mm chunky mince texture makes it incredibly easy to portion and manage for toy, medium, large, and giant breeds alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLife Stage: Formulated for adult dogs and older puppies from 24 weeks onwards. Especially ideal for dogs requiring a chicken-free poultry alternative, pets needing a temporary boost in dietary calcium, and active working dogs on custom DIY or prey-model regimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guide and How To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDietary Balancing Strategy: This is a high-bone complementary ingredient containing approximately 50% ground bone and 5% protein-rich meat trim. To safely build a complete and balanced daily ancestral meal, this mince must be balanced with additional boneless muscle meats and secreting offal. For example, blending 200g of this 50% bone mince with 700g of boneless muscle meat and 100g of balanced offal (5% liver and 5% non-liver organ) will yield a perfectly proportioned 80-10-10 raw batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaily Serving Guidance: The exact proportion of this mince used in your dog's bowl should be factored directly into their overall daily food allowance (which is generally 2% to 3% of their ideal adult body weight). Adjust your custom ratios based on your dog's physical workload, age, metabolic rate, and personal digestive response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing Strategy: Serve straight from thawed. Simply open the 1kg pack, weigh out the specific amount required to balance your custom recipe, and add it directly into your dog's bowl. If smaller serving amounts are needed, allow the block to soften slightly at room temperature just enough to safely segment with a sharp knife, then return the unused portion immediately to the freezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling and Thawing: Store at -18 degrees Celsius and keep frozen until ready for use. Defrost the pack inside a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight (approximately 10 to 12 hours) before serving. Never boil, cook, or microwave this product, as heat permanently alters the cellular matrix of the ground bone elements, causing them to dry out and harden into dangerous, highly indigestible splinters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage Advice: Once fully defrosted, store the mince in a sealed container in the base of the refrigerator and use within 48 hours to ensure maximum freshness. Do not refreeze the product once it has thawed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe Handling: This is a raw poultry product and should be handled with standard hygiene rules. Wash hands, bowls, utensils, and all preparation surfaces thoroughly with warm, soapy water after serving. Always make fresh, clean drinking water available daily.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trusty Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54556428042574,"sku":"TDBTM50","price":4.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/TURKEY-MINCE-1.jpg?v=1762778142","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/the-dogs-butcher-raw-dog-food-turkey-mince-approx-50-bone","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
