Hello everyone,
I have two 7 year old cats that I adopted when they were 6 months old. They have been fed mostly commercial frozen raw since then. During the height of the pandemic it was easier to stockpile wet canned food since I don't have a lot of freezer space so they ate mostly canned wet for about a year. Right now I rotate a can of wet about every 4th meal and the rest of the time they get small batch frozen. I also give them freeze dried treats and a very small amount of high quality dry food as a treat.
Mainly due to cost and convenience I'm thinking of giving up the raw and going to exclusively medium to high quality canned. I live near an outlet store where I see decent brands of canned for good prices. Has anyone ever done this? Both my cats are pretty good eaters so I think they would tolerate it fine. My goal is to keep each meal under $2 and with the price of raw soaring lately it's hard to do that.
