Really trying to cut down, cause it's soooo expensive to feed two kittens currently.
Oh wow, currently changing my recipe now and hoping to make it a bit more affordable.I did the math at one point and figured I spend about $2.25 a day for three cats. That’s using chicken thighs plus supplements.
Is that “wow” like “that’s a lot” or “wow” like “I see I can do it cheaper”? Are you using your own supplements or buying one of the pre-made supplements like Alnutrin? I use Dr. Pierson’s recipe at catinfo.org.Oh wow, currently changing my recipe now and hoping to make it a bit more affordable.
Later, I use Dr. Pierson's recipe as well. What do you mean pre-made? I thought all supplements were pre-made?Is that “wow” like “that’s a lot” or “wow” like “I see I can do it cheaper”?

As sophie1 said, remember that kittens eat a lot. During part of their development they will eat at least double what they will eat as adults.Really trying to cut down, cause it's soooo expensive to feed two kittens currently.
I know you weren’t asking me, but I’ll chime in. I buy boneless chicken thighs at Costco. The sodium is under 100 mg. and the price is good. I grind about 3/4 and cut the rest into chunks. They really like the chunks, but two of the three are 14 and unused to chewing so the chunks aren’t very big.Where do you buy your chicken thighs for Dr. Pierson's recipe? Are you grinding them or serving it in whole chunks?
No worries! It wasn't directed at any one personI know you weren’t asking me, but I’ll chime in. I buy boneless chicken thighs at Costco. The sodium is under 100 mg. and the price is good.

Where are you buying, and do you have access to a grinder or a butcher with a grinder?Really trying to cut down, cause it's soooo expensive to feed two kittens currently.
