TEEF is a probiotic added to water to promote good bacteria in the mouth and reduce the bad bacteria. They've had a dog product for a while and added a cat product this year. I think the science makes sense, but does it actually reduce dental disease? Has anyone tried the cat or dog product?

I have always bought (clumping) clay litter at Pet Supplies Plus. You sign up for their emails and every now and again they do a weekend sale. It might be 15% off your purchase or $10 off of $50 or whatever. If they also have a sale on litter, you put the two together and you get something half...

A friend of mine's cat was just diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma. This is about 2-3 months after a dental cleaning. As I was researching the disease, I've found a few more reports where someone's cat was diagnosed with mouth cancer shortly after getting their teeth cleaned. I know...

This is a post for science nerds researching vitamin K. TLDR; If you're feeding a diet that's 90%+ chicken, you're meeting your cat's vitamin K requirement. I've spent several hours researching vitamin K content in food. I know many folks feel it is unnecessary if fish is not a significant part...

Hi all, I've got a 21-year old cat that started on homecooked in the past 6 months. With her most recent bloodwork creatine and BUN were elevated. WBC normal. We did a uranalysis, and the UA found no protein in the urine but low urine specific gravity (1.016). Given her age, it seems kidney...

I saw another post about the Pet Recipe Designer software so I decided to give it a try. What do you all think of this recipe? Here are some notes: Mussels are an excellent source of manganese. Crickets provide vitamin K. For the record, I'm going to buy some crickets at the pet store near...

My cat has IBD. I finally found a vet who supports homecooked, not raw. Bacterial infections seem to play a role in her flareups so I don't mind cooked. I'd like to do a cooked rabbit recipe. I could probably also do pork, lamb, or venison. I found a few cooked rabbit recipes on this site with...

I have four cats. I would like to use a sustainable and affordable cat litter. I hate that mountains are strip mined so my cats can poop inside. I bought my first bag of Equine Pine pellets from Rural King. Five days ago, I switched one of my 8 boxes to 100% pine pellets and added a small...

I got a milk kefir started from a friend and made my first batch of goat's milk kefir. I offered a very small amount (maybe 1/8 tsp in a bowl) and they all declined it. I tried mixing in freeze dried raw (which they usually go nuts for), and as an experiment, offered plain freeze dried and the...

I'm getting ready to start making cat food and want to buy my supplements. Given that cats are obligate carnivores, I want the supplements to come from animal sources when possible. I started looking to purchase vitamin E and found if it's natural, it's largely from sunflower or wheat germ oils...

Chicken breast has different nutrients than rabbit thighs or turkey drumsticks. So why do the premixes (Like TCFeline) say to just add to meat as though all are equivalent?
