That's one of the primary reasons I want to read it. And, of course, to make my own recipe better.I’d be curious to know who funded the study.
Please share your findings and your improved recipe when you do!That's one of the primary reasons I want to read it. And, of course, to make my own recipe better.
Yup I'm always having to politely change the subject when they address nutrition. My cat eats a high protein raw diet so his creatinine is a tad bit high but has been stable. So they're trying to push me to prescription food every time. Like no...that will give him diarrhea. He doesn't do well with processed food.lavishsqualor Yeah, I’d also like reassurance that the Alnutrin I use is sufficient, that my recipe is good enough.
kittyluv387 fortunately, my regular vet is ok with my feeding raw, even if she doesn’t really promote it. She knows I’ve done a ton of research on it.
The vet who said that was an emergency vet who said she didn’t believe in raw feeding, and proceeded to try to make feel like a bad cat mom. How dare I think I know more about cat nutrition than her!
While I appreciate veterinarians knowledge and training, they, like human doctors, get little to zero training in nutrition. Even nutritionists often get information tainted by businesses/corporations.
Following this logic, humans wouldn't be able to feed themselves, as most of us don't have any specialized human nutrition training and software.It seems the conclusion is that if you don’t have specialized cat nutrition training and specialized software, the diet will most likely be deficient in something and lead to problems.
That's a big part of the problem. There is plenty of legitimate ammo for the anti-homemade crowd to use. And it is very difficult for someone wanting to make their own homemade to distinguish between legitimate and non-legitimate claims on BOTH sides.I was surprised to read that some cat food recipes called garlic, onions, or onion powder. There’s definitely some questionable recipes out there.
