How many lbs were in a case? How much was it, if you don't mind me asking...

Be careful with the necks, they are easily swallowed whole. Riggs had a turkey neck actually stuck once and I thought I was going to have to give him the heimlic to remove it. He can't have anything but the large turkey neck now unless they are frozen in "bundles." Ruby and Connor actually chew their food so can have just about anything.

I use them for my bone source and they work well, but chicken necks are too small for my dogs. They maintain good poos at about 25% bone, so I feed them half chicken backs and half meaty meat daily. Works well for them! Plus, chicken backs are DIRT cheap, that's mostly why I use them for my bone source.

Thank you! Do you have that website...I would be really interested in taking a look at it just to figure out the differences in all the parts

This is about 3 weeks worth for my 3 hounds. I can probably even stretch it out to a month.
