I am in the early stages of raw food ... many on here know more.. pop in raw foods in a search on here youll get loads of info... I am trying to find the right supplements ... right now I use beef and beef liverOriginally Posted by Plebayo
If you look at the friskies label I believe the first ingredient in the canned food is water for processing. Although I could be wrong. I haven't looked at cat food in a while since my high maintanence kitty has to eat IVD Duck and Pea.
sharky - how do you formulate a raw diet? I would be interested in possibley doing something like that for my cat... but don't know much about it. Any info you have would be awesome.
You say: "right now I use beef and beef liver" , just to make sure, I hope that's not all you're feeding your cat, it'll get "all meat syndrome". If you truly want to feed a raw diet you need to feed all parts of the prey animal (bones, muscle and organs) You don't have to do this in one day, but just make sure your cats get all parts in about the right proportion over two weeks or so. Also, chicks (like the ones you can buy as snake feed) are whole prey animals in themselves. Some cats don't understand what to do with chicks, but mine think they're great fun and chewing them is good for their teeth ! The cats eat everything, including the feet and the beak. Not for the squamish, I know.Originally Posted by sharky
