I was not aware Primal pork was so low in bone! I was under the impression pork wasn't great for cats so thats why I didn't try it, although I do believe it's not a case of being bad for them as much as it is important to continuing to rotate proteins. I will definitely buy a bag of that next. As we have TONS of turkey and duck primal leftover with no freezer space, the plan is to use that in rotation with high end canned until I have more freezer space to try pork.We feed mostly Primal pork, which the cats especially love. Their page now puts it at 6% bone (! I was pretty sure it was 7!) whereas the turkey (which we feed only very small amounts of) is listed as somewhere around 10%. Thank you for asking -- I'm glad to see the pork is a bit lower in bone than I'd thought! The pork food doesn't have fish.
Yes, it does kind of look like your cat's butt is a bit irritated. I agree with A Azazel 's suggestion of feeding a variety of foods -- this is what we do, to sort of dilute the bone from the freeze-dried stuff we feed.
And definitely do watch for the new Stella & Chewy's, it's definitely worth a try, if only for snacks or small meals since it's a little pricy.
We have been feeding the variety of canned with the primal in rotation since I posted this, and her butt definitely looks less irritated. We actually have a vet appointment today regarding discharge from her vulva (a whole other issue) so I will have the vet check it out anyways.
I can't wait for Stella + Chewy's! I contacted them and they said they don't know if it will be in stores in BC for a long time yet.
