Yeah that’s my concern too actually haha. Plus I think even if the small amount of boiling water I add destroys some of the nutrients, the food is still much better nutrition-wise compared to commercial dry and wet food.

Hi everyone, Coco pooped again this morning and the stools are good again! Dry, firm, odorless, and blood-free. So perhaps, the blood thing is really just an anomaly? Also, I noticed since Sunday he pooped once a day as opposed to once every other day, although the volume of the stool is...

How about microwaving the raw food prior serving, does it help to kill some of the surface bacteria? I read on The Conscious Cat by Ingrid King that she microwaves for few seconds prior serving to bring the raw food to room-temp. I personally poured 5-6tbsp of boiled water to the raw food, I...

@Furballsmom i’m not sure if I should lower the bone percentage, since actually this week (except for this morning), his stools were actually a bit soft? Unfortunately I have flushed the bloody stool yesterday :/ it didn’t occur to me to bring it to the vet, but if any odd thing happening again...

As for pathogens, I looked up symptoms of salmonella poisoning and it’s nothing like what Coco’s been behaving (lethargy, anorexia, loss of appetite).

Hi Furballsmom, thanks for replying. Yes his poop has always been that color. I’ve finally contacted my vet and sent her the picture of Coco’s poop. She said to observe him first since he’s acting normal. She said it’s possibly infection on his lower intestine. I think it’s worth to mention too...

Hi everyone! My 10 month old male kitty, Coconut, is currently on his 3rd week of homemade raw food (using feline nutrition recipe). Previously he was on grain-free dry & wet food and his stools are always a tad bit soft. He passed stools once to twice a day. My vet suggested to put him on RC...
