They call them "scraps". I get a huge box full everyday. You should ask the butchers at each of the stores in your city if they give out "meat scraps". I'm sure you'll find 2 or even 4 that would do that, then pick the one thats closer to where you live, or gives the most. If your not comfortable with getting stuff for free, you can offer to pay them $10.00 for a box. My dogs are really healthy on this diet, yours will be too. :) My dogs eat a raw meat diet and I save tons of money. :D
