Does anyone know if there is a trusted resource like catinfo.org or feline-nutrition.org for dogs? I'm not necessarily looking for a recipe but for some trusted information on canine nutrition and the basics of feeding raw. Do the same basic rules apply, such as high protein, low carb, high...

Corn. Thought this was an interesting report about a report... What is the most commonly used pet food ingredient? And when looking at dry cat foods only... corn is the top two ingredients. :(

So I just watched this video about what's happening to cats in Wuhan during the coronavirus quarantine. Many cats have been left stranded as their owners cannot get back into the country. This brave hero is part of a volunteer group who goes around to people's homes and checks on their pets...

I just noticed this post on the Rad Cat website and thought I'd share: Rad Cat Raw Diet Premium Raw Food For Cats The post is kind of vague and I don't know what they possibly might mean by Rad Cat still being alive.. but that's good news, yes? It sounds like they have plans to revive the Rad...

Does anyone else put on videos for cats? I have a morning routine with my cats that includes me turning on a video of birds or mice for them in the morning when I sit and eat my breakfast. They all sit there and stare at the TV and often have a try at attacking it. It looks a lot like this...

Just curious if others spray their grinder parts with any kind of cooking oil? If yes, which ones are safe to use for cats? I have the Tasin grinder (metal parts) and currently just store it as is. But, I’m thinking I should probably spray it with something to keep it from rusting.

We adopted our rescue girl almost 2 years ago and she came to us with a host of issues. One of them was that she has always sounded a bit stuffed up when she breathes. The vet has listened to her breathing multiple times in the past 2 years and the conclusion has always been that the sound is...

So last time I made a raw batch I decided that I would put my grinder parts in the dishwasher because I was too tired to wash them. Well... you’re not supposed to do that. :headshake: I took my grinder out tonight to make a batch and it was covered in black stuff... I’m thinking soot. I ended...

Well, every year my husband and I have the same battle. He wants a tree, I'd rather not deal with the cats tearing it apart. I promised him that this year I would try to figure something out to make everyone happy. Does anyone have any ideas on how to have a cat proof tree? We are going to do a...

Cats will be cats!

Am I the only one that looks forward to making food for my cats? I don't know exactly why, but I actually really enjoy the process of it. It's not that I like touching raw meat (blech :barfgreen:), but I think I just really like the feeling of being in control of my cats' nutrition and seeing...

So I used to be in the camp that believed that absolutely no plant-based fiber is best for cats until about yesterday... After one of my cats didn't poop for 3 days on a homemade raw diet with no carbs, I started to add a teaspoon of pumpkin to their daily meals. They are all regular now (going...

So I’ve been experimenting with different toothbrushes because my one cat with chronic gingivitis hates absolutely everything I put in her mouth except q-tips. The q-tips are okay but they don’t scrape her teeth. She just hates anything too big or invasive so every pet brush or finger brush I...

It seems that the rule of 20 calories per pound of weight doesn’t apply with homemade raw. Is it because homemade food is usually more nutrient dense so they need fewer calories to get all of their nutrients? For example, my 9.5 pound cat would need 180-190 kcal per day if she were on commercial...

This video just made my day! The world needs more people like the lady who runs this cat sanctuary and all of its staff. Bravo! :cheerleader:

I'm curious to know where people buy their meat and if they look for anything particular (e.g., certified organic). I buy my meat from a local butcher and a local turkey farm. I always call ahead to order a fresh amount of meat and organs, but I'm starting to wonder if that really makes any...

MOD NOTE: These posts have been taken from another thread as they were taking it off-topic. The dialogue between the two members is concluded and this thread is now locked. Here is what Dr. Lisa Pierson would say in response to your questions: “Every living creature is “fine” until outward...

I thought it might be nice to have an ongoing thread where members who make their own homemade raw can post the recipes they’re using. It would be a nice way to exchange recipes with different proteins and also a nice resource for people new to homemade. Also post some pics if you have them...

I’m using eggshell instead of bone and I’m getting pretty annoyed with trying to get it to nicely mix with the other ingredients. If I mix it with the slurry I get a bunch of it left over in the slurry bowl when I pour it in with the meat. For some reason the powder loves to stick to my...

Anyone use a dental rinse made from chlorhexidine on a regular basis? My vet gave me some of this after my cat's dental surgery and it did wonders for cleaning her teeth and gums. It was with prescription though and the vet only prescribed it for short term use. I'm wondering if anyone uses it...
