Hi! I have recently discovered that one of my cats LOVES raw meat.

I'm not ready to dive into making my own raw cat food, but I'd like to start giving her raw meat at least a few times a week because she enjoys it and I assume it isn't bad for her.

What I'm unclear on is how much I can safely feed her before I risk malnutrition in other areas, since I'm just giving her lean muscle meat, and so far only beef.

If it matters, the rest of her diet is assorted canned food and Honest Kitchen dehydrated cat food.

Thank you!

Plain unsupplemented meat can be up to 10% of the diet. A small amount a few times of week is plenty.

Thanks! Exactly the number I was looking for.
