i am thinking that i would like to switch my cats to raw - which is going to be TONS of work - and i was wondering if anyone can share some resources - websites, book titles, etc. - that i can have a look at. i feed my dog raw and from what i have read so far it seems to be pretty much the same, except for the higher need for taurine. this is one site that i have found so far raw fed cats.
also, if you supplement taurine where do you find it? how do you give it? what else would you supplement? i order my dog's food from a local company since in canada grocery store prices are outrageous! i cannot find chicken for less that 4.99-9.99/lb and that is on super sale! chicken breasts cost almost $30 ($27.17 yesterday) for 6 breasts!
this is what i plan to order for the cats
do you think that i will have to supplement anything besides taurine with those meals? i emailed the owner of the company and she said that the meals are balanced muscle meat, organs, bone, and fat. they make the ground meals themselves so i trust that she has it balanced.
thank you for reading! thank you for any resources you can list!
