Hello all,
mypetcarnivore has a product called "ground whole young beef." The describe it as being "meat, organs and bones together. Coarse ground and fresh frozen. This is our premium whole animal grind.
These Michigan dairy cows are 1 - 7 days old. They have been milk-fed. Very young meat source makes for softer, more digestible bones. Very lean. ---Less than 1% fat.
The average prey animal has about 10% to 15% bone, about 10% organs, and the rest muscle and fat and connective tissue. That is Mother Nature's model and therefore our model ratio for all of our Whole Ground products.
Does that sound like it would be good for a cat, assuming that I balance it with the usual supplements? I am worried about not having enough fat. I have a growing kitten, hence the concern. If you find the fat insufficient, I would appreciate ideas on how to increase the fat content of the food overall. I use to feed chicken, and using the skin gave me more control over the fat content. My kitten seems to have an intolerance towards chicken, so that option is out.
