Yes, I should have clarified that, I meant no bones to chew on.
Why do you need suppliers, do you have a lot of dogs? Otherwise just keep an eye on circulars. I don't know if you have Price Chopper in your area (it's just one of the few US grocery stores I know) but they have online flyers and you can make shopping lists right on their site to print out. I use their site all the time when I'm down at our trailer in NY.
I bought everything I need for under $40 (4 chickens - $18, about 6-8 packs of liver/kidney, under $2 each, a dozen eggs - $2, a large container of yogurt $3) and that should keep me going for well over a month for one dog. Mind you - I'll freely admit when I looked into raw several years ago, I wanted to go with the medallions too, but there was nowhere to get them in Montreal, Canada and shipping meat across the border wasn't done easily if it all. But I think the prey model is actually easier and cheaper. JMveryHO.
