A few Q's on Raw
Hi all,
I have a 3 month old kitten who is thriving on her raw diet (store bought). However, she seems to only really enjoy chicken and turkey. Being the cheapest of the raw meats, its great for my pocket, but is it great for her nutrition?, as cheapest is often less healthy? Do I need to get her supplements? My other question, we are getting a 9 week old Boston Terrier today! Of course we are going with raw for him also, but I'm curious as some recipes for raw online are ok for both cats and dogs, yet the commercial raw has different percentages. Can I buy the commercial for dog and feed it to both kitten and puppy? Last question.... how much would I save to invest in a grinder and mini freezer and make my own? And if I make my own can I make it suitable for both? or will I still need to make two separate batches? As for the commercial raw I buy, the cat food is 90% meat and 10% veggie and the dog raw is 75% meat and 25% veggie. Thank You! |

Good choice going raw . I actually make my own homemade raw. The main protein source is chicken, but pork or beef may be added too. It is sooooooooooooooo much cheaper and yes, I grind mine.
I do also feed my cats Nature's Variety and Wellness canned (plus others, but not as regularly) and I buy different protein sources in that. The hard part about making raw with the different sources is because of trying to grind the bones, chicken is easiest. I do find that all my cats do prefer venison to any domestic meat, so if you can get your hands on some, it may be a great treat for your kitty
