Meet Stormy, she popped up in my yard a day after thanksgiving where I fed a couple strays outside after dinner. She walked right up to a chair in the patio and hung out there until I went outside to see if she was friendly or hungry, turns out she was both! After feeding her and spending time...
Update!
Skype is now eating Orijen dry food 2x a day, tolerating little wet-food snacks (he is loving Regional Red), drinking a bunch of water (thank the gods!), crazy over freeze dried treats and the occasional slip of raw chicken.
Im keeping the snacks in between since he was eating 4x a...
Thanks! I've found some pretty decent canned foods, and have bought a few different kinds for the Creature to try. Looking back, he really wasn't all too crazy about canned food in general. He was definitely under eating. It wasn't great quality because I had him on a digestive diet after a...
Omg I totally forgot freeze dried existed! thank you! ill have to pick up a few things and see what else gravitates to. or at least let him get a little hungrier before giving him options. Skype seems to really like chewing now that he's gotten used to it. I definitely want to give him some...
yeah I really like their ingredients, and so does he when fed raw chunks of the same proteins! even their kibble doesn't seem bad. I think my lil guy might be gearing more towards kibble because he liked to steal my dogs' and he likes the crunch after chewing through bones for a while. he obvi...
Hey everyone. Let me start by saying Skype, the cat in question, and I both love feeding raw. I love it because he's had no vet issues in a year, chopping day is fun for the both of us, no smelly stools or digestive issues. Due to freezer space from a new living situation, a few rainstorms...
thank you both! I figured most is up to discretion, and playing around a little. I figured out to cut smaller for now, and he was reeaallyy into it. Thank you guys for putting some stuff into perspective as reading lots of articles kind of gets overwhelming with all the information. You've...
Update: So with the freeze dried bits (Instinct), which Skype is literally obsessed with, he lost interest with most canned food in general, including the Origin cans he was loving for a bit there. My fault in trying several diff things in a short time. He eats, but not as much. He also loves...
Little Update; Skype is loving the little raw bites I'm throwing his way while cooking. Im not making any more changes until he's done with his meds, and fully off of his Purina. Actually he is now staring and meowing expectantly at me while I'm at the cutting board.
this is awesome to know! I'm used to not giving any kind of bone to animals, as the tiny dog gets HELLA aggressive with bones to chew. I didn't even think of providing different bones for nutrition and others for chewing. Unfortunately I was already adjusting his food, when I had to get him some...
Wow, thank you both so much! After looking at the ingredient lists, I ended up getting Orijen wet food for Skype since it had the most whole ingredients and no grains at petco. He liked it so much its making scheduled feeding a lot easier, even after a day. I even got some of the senior dry food...
I did find grain-free. He gravitated towards it right away! I intended to use the freeze dried, as just treats, so I can get rid of the cold cuts issue. I didnt realize additives would be an issue/potential irritant and of course there were a few. I know if its replacing a meal it should be...
Thanks so much! ill definitely start giving Skype some raw protein mixed it..and definitely with the bone in. I can see how kibble didn't do much for my 14 yr old dogs teeth, his teeth and breath have not been in good condition for years now. can I ask any suggestions of what are appropriate...
