I'm unfortunately switching from raw to home-cooked and would like to know ratios for Alnutrin (not with added calcium) based on cooked meat. I have a full bag of Alnutrin from feeding her raw meat/bone/organ. I would be feeding her poached chicken, a 48-hr bone broth, liver, heart, green-lipped mussel powder, and Alnutrin. I also need to know how much to feed Domino per day. It's different than raw, yes?
The links on this site to older home-cooked recipe resources no longer exist on the Google drive. Any other resources?
I've fed my cat, Domino, raw food her whole life, which has been great. The pet store/shelter I got her from started me on it. She's had pre-made commercial brands like Raw Dynamics, BossCat, Vital, Answers+. But didn't always love it. I wasn't sure if it was the protein source or what. So I made the leap to Hare-Today mixed with supplements + omega a little over a year ago. Recently, she's had soft stools and some liquid drops outside that just are not resolving. Usually, it's short-term, and resolves after feeding her home-cooked chicken and broth, mixed with slippery elm and S.Boulardii+MOS. This time it's been better-back to worse-better-worse, etc. Based on an assumption of it taking 12-24 hr for food to pass, I think her body has been reacting to one or all of these: raw, the brand, the protein, oddly psylium husk. And I had fed her just chicken and broth for too long without supplementation.
All the vets I've been to have discouraged Raw, even though no parasites have ever shown up in stool samples, her coat has been amazing, she's healthy and happy, her poop never smelled. I'm told by the vet that cat's poop normally stinks! That's always been an indicator for me that something's wrong...Hope that's based on commercial food, and not true of a clean home-cooked diet...
PS This site is amazing and so helpful!
