Hi all! Haven't been here for a LONG time :wavey: but I have a few questions concerning pre-made raw: - my cat used to have chronic constipation on kibble (he is now on canned and is no longer constipated), aren't raw poops small and hard? Would the higher bone content in pre-made raw patties...

Now I see Merrick is having mold problems with some of their canned formulas. I googled Merrick and their reputation is not good, they have endless recalls in almost all of their product lines... THIS IS THE ONLY BRAND MY CAT WILL EAT! He will occasionally eat Purina Fancy Feast but not very...

My cat, Bo, is one of those picky eaters. He currently eats several flavours of one brand- Merrick (Turducken, Grammy's Pot Pie and Thanksgiving Dinner). If he does eat other brands, it is with one of these flavours of Merrick mixed in. I am concerned with recalls. Merrick doesn't exactly have...

So I decided that I am taking the leap to raw. I have hemmed and hawed over it for a few months and I just really want my cat to have the absolute best I can provide. I will provide him with half canned and half Carnivora chicken to start and then try reducing the amount of canned over time. I...

What's an average amount of ash in pet food? What's unhealthy/too high? Also: I asked this question before but I can't find it... what is an appropriate calcium/phosphorus ratio?

I know that people on this forum believe that kibble doesn't help a cat's teeth, BUT then why does my cat's breath smell SIGNIFICANTLY worse since he has been on a 100% wet diet? He is utd on his vet check ups and just had a dental so why would he have such halitosis on canned food? Of course...

Ok I have fed Bo the best of the best. The most expensive. Dry. Wet. Raw. HE IS SO FUSSY. He is now down to ONE wet food that he likes- Merrick- (three flavours- turducken, thanksgiving dinner, and Grammys pot pie). Raw-- I have offered him PMR, boneless and bone in. Not yet pre-made Kibble--...

What is a good calcium-phosphorus ratio in a raw diet?

I have often wondered if personality is sex related (in any mammal). I have owned mainly males in my lifetime and I have found them to be very affectionate and loving-- especially cats, but dogs and parrots as well. What have your experiences been? Do you think there is a difference between...

Does anyone on this board have experience with Carnivora products? I emailed them about 3 weeks ago asking if their Carnivora line was nutritionally balanced for cats or whether it required supplementation (taurine). I also asked what the meat/bone/organ percentages were. I didn't get a...

My cat is a fussy little turd (as many of you members know) but I am honestly beginning to believe that PMR raw is the best diet for Bo. I HAVE always believed it but I am scared of trying it because Bo is so fussy. He will lick, he will throw the meat around, he will even chew a little bit but...

My cat Bo has had an ongoing issue since I got him 2.5 years ago- Blood in his feces. He has been tested thoroughly and the vets keep coming to the conclusion that he is constipated. I recently switched him to wet food (about 3-4 weeks ago) and his poop has been great. THEN- today I noticed a...

I'm looking for a reputable pet insurance company in Canada. Please provide the name and also a link if you can! Also if you could let me know what your experience has been with them? Thanks!

My cat went for his dental (got in early) and his vet said his teeth were actually in pretty good shape-- no extractions! I am wanting to use something that will keep his teeth in good condition. Raw is out of the question right now. Brushing his teeth is DEFINITELY out of the question- he will...

My cat has been having episodes of drooling over the past two weeks. Any ideas on what this would be about? I looked in his mouth and his gums are a little red. He has a bit of plaque on his rear molars (are they called molars on cats). I was thinking its an oral issue.... A friend of mind put...

I'm thinking of transitioning my cat Bo to raw. I have been going through nothing but hell with trying to find canned food that are healthy and my cat actually likes... Locally I have this company available- http://www.springmeadowsnaturalpetfood.com/site_map.php I also have Carnivora and I...

Merrick (Thanksgiving day dinner and turducken) Natures variety- chicken Wellness- chicken Evo- chicken and turkey (adult food) Holistic Select- chicken and lamb Addiction- (rabbit and duck) I came up with a list and wonder what you guys think of them? Opinions? Thanks for all of your patience...

My cat is a rescue as most of you know. He is the sweetest cat I have ever met in my life. When my husband and I are sleeping Bo sleeps right in between our heads on the pillows. In the morning he will look at me lovingly, purr and pull my face with his paws towards his face. If I look away...
