Had been buying organic boneless chicken thighs at Whole foods for the raw diet (mixed with their organic liver and the Alnutrin w eggshells). My cats loved it. I was as costco yesterday and noticed they had organic chicken thighs for $3.99/pound (whole foods is $6.99/pound). So I picked up 6 pounds. They are just terrible and my cats won't eat but a couple licks of their food made with it. It is LOADED with fat. I cut off all the big pieces of fat but there is a lot of it lined in with the meat that you can't get out. It also looked so shredded in ragged pieces rather than nice thighs in two pieces you typical get when buying boneless thighs.
But figured it couldn't be that bad so ground it all up and 6 pounds ended up 4.5 pounds after cutting off all the fat I could. So I had some whole foods thighs left from my batch last month and used those to mix in. I immediately noticed the difference in the color of the Costco thighs and Whole foods thighs. Because of all the fat in the costco thighs, it made the ground mixture look more white, whereas the Whole Foods had a nice pink color and looked like thigh meat. So, still figuring it may be ok, I mixed in the whole foods 1 1/2 pounds with it to make 6 pound batch.
My cats don't like it at all. take a couple licks and that's it. Can't blame them I guess as it probably tastes more like fat than meat! So all that work and money down the drain as I'm going to toss it and go to whole foods today and get their meat to make another batch. I am really surprised as Costco for having such poor quality organic meat.
