I switched to about half raw a while ago, and now am on mostly raw. The cats are doing better in many ways, including self-regulating their own intake better and not seeming to get as hungry between meals, but the only thing I've noticed is that their coats are not as amazingly soft and lustrous as they used to be. My older cat was on supermarket quality food when I got him, and he was OK and his coat was fine, but I switched him to high-quality dry +wet food once a day, and his coat improved significantly. I got my younger cat as a baby, and as soon as he had adult fur he was also soft like silk. Their coats are now not *bad*, just not as great as they were before.
I've been feeding a commercial pre-mix which is complete including bone, organ, and supplements. It lists on the package what is included (the same mix in the supplement mixes I can buy to put in home-made), but not an exact mg/kg food or anything like that. I was thinking of going ahead and also buying a bit of the supplement mix and just upping their vitamin intake, but I don't want to risk toxicity from too much of a vitamin or taurine or anything. Does anyone know or know of a site that has any numbers on what sorts of levels can become a risk?
