    Canadians, boneless chicken thighs price?

    I prefer avoiding pre-ground meat to control the amount of fat my cat is getting. I hope costco puts meat on sale so I can grab as much as possible and hopefully save few dollars. Looking at the cost of homemade food, I wonder how the quality of the store bought food will be affected. Sure they...

    Canadians, boneless chicken thighs price?

    Thanks for the link. I looked around in the supermarkets close by and they all have the same pricing unless I buy something that is close to the consumption date which I wouldn’t do. I’m cutting cost by feeding pork. I wish I can find turkey for the same price as chicken or beef but it’s...

    Canadians, boneless chicken thighs price?

    I was watching a youtube video for a homemade recipe. The recipe is exactly the same as the one in Dr Becker's book. I noticed that the label says 1.29$/lb which makes it a bit less than 4CAD/kg. I get my chicken from costco and pay 16$/kg but it's boneless and skinless. Even tho it comes...

    Dr Becker’s Real Food for healthy Dogs and Cats book

    yes, I am using pork instead of turkey to cut cost. Turkey is way too expensive plus it doesn't come boneless which will give me more work. I am buying beef and chicken at around 16$/kg but pork is sold at 7$/kg. Someone else suggested the spreadsheet but I wasn't wiling to buy it yet since I...

    I am a bit confused about the part where she talks about the different kinds of meat. I am currently feeding my cat beef and chicken but i am trying to cut cost by introducing porc. In the section about the meats, she mentions that for other types of meat, you need to use the second recipe for...

    FIC - Prazosin is it safe for cats?

    Hey, my cat fully recovered. It was all caused by stress. The only thing that helped was painkillers every 8 hours for around 15 days then I started reducing the dose very slowly. I also gave him d mannose and cornsilk extract. Hope your cat is doing well!

    hi, sorry for not replying. So many things have been happening that I didn't have the time to reply. Shiva, the cat, is doing great. We went through a lot to get him to eat. The only thing that worked is two meals a day with a big gap between them. The first meal is at around 10 and the second...

    I read that the pate texture is not good for the teeth for I started cutting them in small pieces. I found a good workflow so I will share it with you but not sure if that is something you have the time to do. So I start by cutting the meats into small pieces and freezing them into ice cubes. I...

    I'm only aiming at 1/2 cup a day then will increase the amount once he is set with a schedule. He did eat 1/2 yesterday so hoping I don't jinx that!

    I tried fancy feast. He ate that for a week then he started refusing it.

    I snapped at my cat.

    I did feed him fancy feast last week. He enjoyed eating it but he refused to eat it this week. I had 3 different kinds of fancy feast which he enjoyed but he stopped eating them as of Monday. So, I went and got him a different brand Oven Baked with options Rabbit, Duck and turkey. He refused to...

    I snapped at my cat.

    I started feeding him 1 cup but I noticed that it’s way too much food for him so I dropped it to 3/4 of a cup. Last week he was getting between 3/4 and 1 cup a day but since Monday he hasn’t had 3/4 cup in 2 days. A friend suggested to cook the meat and stop offering raw in case he is refusing...

    Freshly caught mice from their warehouses lol! I would feed an entire mouse but it has to be from a pet store. I know that raw food has stricter rules and get tested way more than kibbles and pate. So I assume if it's being sold at a pet store, it should be fine to consume.

    I snapped at my cat.

    I base myself on the fact that he needs 1 cup of food a day. When he was on dry food, he will eat all his portion so I'm assuming this should be the same if he is on raw or cooked food.

    i'm gonna toughen it up with him but I won't put him in a kennel. He had UTI from stress and I won't put him back into a stressful position. Will see by tomorrow how things progress.

    He seems like a manipulator. I gave him some homemade chicken shreds yesterday and he ate that without complaining. I left him some raw beef with sardine for the night, he didn't even touch it tho he was walking on my bed all night trying to wake me up to feed him. This morning I gave him the...

    A Cat Called Carpet.

    ❤️❤️❤️ I fostered a kitten and named her carpet too but in French (tapis). She was similar to your Carpet. She was certainly loved and enjoyed her time with you and with her siblings. Cats are a blessing even tho sometimes they can be a handful.

    I will add it to the list in case nothing works out. I don’t mind feeding him an actual mouse tbh. But that is my last resort for now lol

    My cat eat human grade food. His mixes are very basic meat (chicken, beef or turkey) + organs such as heart, gizzards and liver. Added to that an egg or sardine or salmon and a bit of veggie mix. He is an indoor cat. For now, it seems like he's just picky. As I mentionned earlier, I gave him...

    I snapped at my cat.

    i am rotating between raw beef and raw chicken. I do have a batch of cooked chicken so I offered him that for tonight and he ate it. I think it's just a matter of him being picky and figuring out what works for him. Tomorrow, I am going to try the same cooked chicken he liked today if he doesn't...
