Thanks for visiting Bone Depot!!! On these pages you’ll find some of the best restaurant-grade raw meat and bones available anywhere, along with information for those who are curious about or already feeding a diet of raw meat and bones to their companion animals.

Bone Depot operates out of Canine University® in Malden, MA. Whether you seek duck or turkey, beef or lamb, it’s all here and priced affordably. If you are just starting out, congratulations…we have many resources- for both the novice as well as those who have been doing this for awhile- on our links page, and are always happy to talk shop.

Currently there are 2 ways in which we can serve you-
• Peruse our site and place your order by Thursday of each week, and pick up the following week. We accept secure payments online thru Paypal, or we can send you an invoice electronically if you prefer to mail a check.
• We also have an ever-changing variety of foods available each week for those who prefer to stop by & shop. You can stop by during posted hours and pick up what you need; we accept major cards as well as cash and checks. What’s available is updated regularly and listed to your right; you can also email us to get on the announcement list or follow yourpetsbutcher on Twitter.

We pride ourselves on the large variety of organ meat we can obtain for you, and package your food in consumer-friendly portions. Bone Depot also offers case discounts ranging from 10-15 percent off, and we actively shop all available wholesalers to obtain the best quality and pricing….if our price drops, so does yours :)

One of our goals in starting Bone Depot is to help everyone who cares about what ends up in their companions’ tummies, everyone who is disenchanted with feeding their loved ones from a bag, everyone who seeks the optimal health benefits their dog, cat, ferret, etc can only get from a raw diet. Help us to be the #1 source for the needs of pet guardians all over New England! We look forward to being your partner in feeding as mother nature intended.

Got a full cooler here :)

January 22, 2012

With the deadline for ordering for our next meat meet three weeks away, fret not if you are in need of something between now and then. This past week I was able to pick up- among other things- tom turkey wings, some lean pork loin trim, chicken rib cages, and lamb necks. I do have store hours this week, and will make a concerted effort to update not only these but also keep the homepage’s current offerings accurate. If you are looking for quantities of 15 pounds or more, best to email me a day or so before you planned on coming over and I’ll be happy to set some aside for you :)

January’s Meat Meet

January 12, 2012

Have been doing some shopping of late, and as you may have noticed the price of regular 80/20 ground beef is still quite high. The way I figure it, if I’m spending this much for my pack for beef it had better be of premium quality. So, I’ve lined up an order of something called Peeled Knuckle, which is leaner than most ground beef available at your local grocer. I am making this January’s special, you may want to pre-order some as it is certified hormone and antibiotic-free!!

Elsewhere in wholesale-land:
Chicken remains a consistently good value with whole wings being the exception. Guess it has to do with their popularity with the sports-viewing crowd…NBA basketball is back, college hoops are surging toward March Madness, the Bruins are playing extremely well, and the Patriots are in the postseason. Have adjusted pricing for these accordingly as they are costing me more, and would suggest anyone seeking whole wings to consider “B” wings, they are significantly less pound for pound as the bones are broken, which is fine- even a god thing- for those of us giving them to our companion animals. “V” wings (ie drumette removed) are an even better value.
Now that the holidays are over, Turkey and Duck prices have stabilized. I actually have some all-natural duck legs at Canine University which your dog would drool over :) and you’ll be pleased to know these are also hormone and antibiotic-free. These are retailing for much more at the natural grocer closest to us.
Lastly, Pork and (especially) Lamb pricing is on the high side. I had someone order lamb necks for the meat meet so I will have those next week. And I PROMISE to have center-cut beef marrow bones back in stock: you can pre-order these by weight, or if you want to add some when you come by I package these individually for Canine University’s students: $2 apiece, or three for $5.
