I lost three cats in the past year and a half - 16, 14, 15 years of age. Only one had kidney issues, but developed a lesion on his pancreas. one had stomach cancer, the 15 year old developed lung cancer. All this cancer leads me to think that the food they consumed did not nuture them as well as it should. So I am considering raw diet. My vet ageed if I cleared it all with her. She referred me to two webistes, but they charge you for recipes. This new undertaking will require me to purchase a meat grinder, and supplements, so I don't want to have to pay for recipes. I would like to know: How does one transition cats to this diet -, three ages 1-1/2 and one age nine. What supplements are the best? Felines Pride? Hare Today? Also, I am away approximately 12 hours a day. I hear you should not leave the raw food out - but some say you can. What is it? I used to leave out dry food for them during the day, but think I have to stop that completely, yes? Please, any advice would be helpful. My vet and I plan to make a final decision around January 17th at my next vet visit. Thanks!
