No problem! They sold duck frames as RMB’s for dogs at TC. I don’t know if they still do, but that’s how I saw what they were. Thanks for sharing Vital Essentials answer. It’s pretty unsatisfactory imo. You asked a specific question and they gave a vague response. They didn’t actually say what...

Thank you for asking them! I'm very suspicious of companies with food since I've seen many of them selling raw food that they claim is balanced or claim is the whole animal, but when you read the ingredients, they very clearly aren't. Thats why I like that Hare Today specifically lists all of...

I haven't looked into Wysong, but Vital Essentials isn't the entire animal. If you read the ingredients, its a combination of muscle meat, bones aren't listed but they're clearly in there, gizzard for ducks, liver and one or two other organs. Some batches such as duck dont even have heart listed...

Yeah! I'm glad Hare Today has expanded their freeze dried options, though I wish they used a bit less bones for cats. I really like that their ground rabbit is the entire rabbit with all of the organs, minus the stomach and fur. That's the closest mix I've found that uses more than just liver...

You're welcome, glad I could help! =D

Another option for managing stress could be an herbal solution as well. The internal med specialist my cat sees recommended NHV’s Resp-aid for my cat when he was coughing a month ago. That helped and the coughing has stopped. NHV has an herbal product for anxiety too. I haven’t used it, but I...

I agree and also stress the importance of getting as much water as possible into your cat. One of my ragdolls has had two blockages as well. The first happened as the result of him refusing to eat, and thus also barely getting any fluids, as he dislikes drinking water. That was before I bought...

I wouldn’t feed that food anymore if I were you. Those bones would be okay if they were surrounded by and attached to meat, like a chicken neck. The fleshy meat would protect the cats from any pointy bits of bone. Finding large pieces of naked bone in the food is quite concerning. That’s one of...

We're back in business with the organic psyllium! Cosmos's prolapses are now resolving in about 40 seconds. :D

Thanks Sarthur! Does olive oil function as a lubricant for the outside of the poop or does it make it soft as a whole? With Cosmos's prolapse, soft poop isn't what we want since that makes his prolapse stay out longer. Good poops for fast prolapse resolution for him are firm but not dry on the...

Definitely! I went to a local vitamin shop after calling to find out if they had any psyllium husk. Immediately there was a clear difference in color and once I got home and mixed 1/16tsp (I figured I’d use a smaller amount since I didn’t know if Cosmos would accept it) with 1 tbsp of water a...

Thanks Fionasmom. It's very disappointing. I hope you're right and that things will go back to improving once this psyllium issue is worked out! As for the psyllium, I dont know what caused the change in it. It's NOW brand and their stuff is usually very good. There are two people who have left...

Thankfully, the prolapses themselves are still small. This is most recent one I got a photo of for reference. Some part of me still hopes that this will somehow resolve and stop happening. It feels ridiculous for it to not stop and for there to not be a solution when they’re also ready so small...

Once again, I was too hopeful and spoke too soon. Cosmos's prolapses have gone from resolving in 20 seconds and sometimes not happening at all, to now taking anywhere from 4-15 min to resolve. I think thats from multiple factors that have piled up on top of one another. The large bag of whole...

Hey there, The RFN sheet shows you exactly how much of every vitamin, mineral, protein, fatty acid, etc is in both the recipe and each individual ingredient. It shows the amount of phosphorus in mg and provides a calcium to phos ratio. Both of those, and all of the other nutrient values change...

I also feel like its all of the processing and extra crap that's added into cat food that's causing food allergies among other health issues. Cats evolved to eat meat, not just one kind of meat either, as seen from the variety of prey in feral cats diets. It doesn't make sense that an animal...

That's hard to say since it depends on why she's coughing. If medication has been aspirated into her lungs then only a vet can take care of that. If she has a virus, then lysine would help her body fight it off, and if she has a bacterial infection then she would need antibiotics. If she has...

I'm glad she's been doing well with pooping! The coughing part is concerning though.

Some cats with chicken allergies can tolerate chicken eggs. I didn't want to assume, so thats why I recommended Alnutrin. Quail, duck, turkey, and/or goose eggs also work. As for fur improvements, I'd say its due to your cat getting quality food instead of a bunch of fillers, gums, carbs, etc...

Hey there, A super easy way to make homemade cat food would be to use a completer. Since your cat has a chicken allergy, I'd recommend Alnutrin instead of EZ Complete, since the latter uses chicken liver and eggs. For Alnutrin, all you need is meat and liver. It can be used in homecooked food or...
