There definitely was another one I read about here before. BalanceIt you add after you cook and the other I think you added it before you cook. I just found one mentioned here but don't have time right now to read details. But I'll try and post about it here if I do.
I hope you would consider...
...a rescued longhaired Chihuahua, possible Pap mix, that was an absolute sweetie.
For Nera not wanting to eat, there is a website called balanceit (Welcome to Balance It). You can make a very healthy, balanced for the long term diet in your own kitchen with very minimal ingredients this way...
EzComplete is for raw. The mixes I've found (everything from the resources page here) are for raw, except BalanceIT, which uses lower quality minerals. I might have to go to a nutritionist, but the money is not there and I'm afraid of being told I'm an idiot for wanting to homecook.
Hi. I have nothing to offer from personal experience, but thought maybe these links to previous posts might help - at least until other members who have some knowledge come along and respond to your post.
Low Phosphorus Homemade And Balance It?
Your Experience With Balanceit/homemade Kidney Diets?
Thanks. I wanted something that met the established nutritional standards using cooked meat and a minimal number of supplements. Alnutrin, BalanceIt, TCFeline, etc are providing minerals as supplements. This recipe provides minerals purely from the meat. The recipes in the folder without...
I've tried a couple of times in the past, but now that my moggy has been dxed with IBD, I'm going to make a serious effort to transition him to homecooked. I'm going to use BalanceIT. Who here uses BalanceIT? How has your cat's health been on it?
...do pork, lamb, or venison. I found a few cooked rabbit recipes on this site with chicken heart and liver, but my girl can't do chicken. BalanceIt can balance just rabbit meat, but I'm frustrated with the low quality of their mineral supplements (no amino acid complexes / chelates for...
...a recipe with animal fat like organ meats than vegetable oil. If you can source rabbit liver, maybe you could use Alnutrin in place of this BalanceIT. Otherwise, that Balance IT probably has customer support you could ask about the oil requirement.
EZ Complete probably won't work out for...
It's probably BalanceIt. That company makes custom diets and sells a specific pre-mix like powder to turn the recipe into a complete diet.
I feed my IBD cat Instinct raw rabbit. He'll eat other brands of raw but my other cat won't so it's just easiest to just buy and feed one brand.
There are some TCS threads about BalanceIt:

These in particular are worth reading:

Any pre-mix would work for an IBD cat. Bone seems to be an issue with some IBD...
Is anyone here using Ez Complete fur Cats or BalanceIT Feline for cooked meals? I'm trying to determine which would be less expensive on a daily basis, just the mix, not the other ingredients. I would love all analysis on this subject. Thank you!
I read a bunch of threads here that talked about their experience with BalanceIT, and it sounded like most folks seemed to be somewhat in favor of it. I'd like to just ask a couple more questions before I ask my vet to approve it.
My 17 year old cat entered stage 3 kidney disease a few days...
...down...if you read the above linked page.)
There seems to be many sites, now, that will help to create 'home made recipes' ...with added supplements...but not sure how good any of them are.( that BalanceIT site seems very interesting....Tanya's site links to them.)
Definitely great advice...

Hey oriza !
This sub-forum has this thread: Who Uses Balanceit Here?.
[I also saw your post on another "forum"......that place is deader than a door nail (and most uninformed!). I'd say best save your energy! This place rocks!]

...may react differently and it's best to discuss concerns about a particular ingredient with your vet.
Have you looked into custom diets at BalanceIt?
I found this possibility:

...cats baby food long term, but if they aren't eating anything else, this is a good option short term to get their appetite up.
I bought the BalanceIT supplement to add to it so it is "balanced" with vitamins/minerals needed. For one jar of baby food (which is 1oz of meat) you add 1.7grams of...
