Thank you so much for the advice everyone! I will try your suggestions. I didn't even think of some of them. :) And yes it's going to be really tough to discourage the adorable baby nipping she does with our hands haha. I just keep telling myself it won't be so adorable once her adult teeth are in.

okay so I've only ever adopted rescue adult cats over 1-2 years old in the past because kittens are exhausting haha. But after the loss of our beloved cat to cancer recently a rescue plopped an adorable 4 month old kitten scheduled for transport into our arms and we brought her home. This is our...

Hi! I'm curious if you received your Tailio and how it turned out? My kitty is now facing cancer and if this product actually works it would be an amazing way to monitor her progress.

Yeah the carbs don't make much sense to me either. But I've been too overwhelmed with her issues lately and their recipe seems to be helping for now. I think they were trying to limit the amount of protein she consumed while still offering enough bulk food to satisfy her for the day to help...

I don't know? I am relying on the knowledge of the Nutrition department at VA Tech. I'm sure they have a reason for balancing the diet and getting all the required nutrients she needs. I am not a nutritionist and in no way educated enough or willing to make that call for my cat on my own since...

I had to choose a carb during the consult for her recipe and she is intolerant of rice, grains, wheat, pasta, etc so I kinda just went with sweet potatoes off of the ingredient label on her old canned food. I was told I could reformulate the recipe to use potatoes instead (more $$$), but she...

This year my 10 year old cat was referred to nutritionists and internal medicine specialists because of her increasing frequency of diarrhea and vomiting. She is suspected of having IBD and very early renal disease, and over the last few months we worked on ruling out a protein sensitivity. She...

My 9 year old cat has IBD and has been on a homemade chicken and sweet potato food trial for 2 months now. She has improved in so many ways such as coat, skin, energy, playfulness and just seems happier. However, she has had another bad bout of diarrhea and the only way to test if it is a...

I work in a BSL-2 lab with cell cultures and bacteria so I am familiar with their growth. Bacteria can and will begin to multiply within a few hours of reaching an optimal temperature for growth. Refrigeration doesn't mean there isn't already bacteria in the food, because most likely there is...

So the results of the Frosty Bowl is VERY promising! :) It solves my problem! So I froze the ice pack overnight, then put 1 large glob of food on one side and a smaller glob of food on the other side and began measuring the temps over time. These are the results I got from fridge temperature...

I will let you know all of my results then. I am only testing for a 10-12 hour run, but if there is anything particular you would like me to test for I'd be more than happy to do it (research is my happy place). :) I personally believe that any fresh or raw meats should be kept at a safe temp of...

That is a great idea about the double boiler of sorts! I've also figured out that if I take her daily portion, remove half into another container and mix the supplements into the other half, I can microwave her non-supplemented portion so it's kind of hot then mix in the cold supplement portion...

I am struggling with this myself now. How do I make sure my cat gets fed when I go out for the day/night or unexpectedly can't make it home? I am brand new to feeding food that isn't canned and preserved, and she can no longer have any dry food. This is stressful! I'm not even talking vacations...

Thank you guys! I didn't know products like that existed! Speaking with the nutritionists I found out that as long as I can find a way to keep the food at around 40-45 degrees it would stay safe, even exposed to air. So I am going to test some of these products to see how long they can keep food...

I'm new to this site, and came here looking for help with my cat's new homemade diet, but I'm shocked to find Feline's Pride is still around and having so many issues. I would have thought they'd have gone out of business loooong ago. I just thought I'd mention my experience with them. I fed...

I have a 10 year old cat who has had diarrhea and vomiting issues for years, which has recently gotten much worse. She was hospitalized for a week and seen by Internal Medicine specialists last week. I got a recipe designed specifically for her needs by certified veterinary nutritionists which...
