    Is This A Good Low Phosphorus Diet? Recommendations? (hare Today + Anutrin Eggshell Supp?)

    Just when I thought I thought I overcame mixing raw at home after the sad Radkat closure, my 15 year old Ragdoll's lab results just came back and has early signs of Stage 2 kidney disease (according to the IRIS definition). I just watched this video: and am very familiar with Lisa Pierson...

    How Will Cats Digestive System React To Raw For First Time?

    One thing you can really look forward to when switching to raw is significantly less or virtually no poo/urine odor!!! It makes such a HUGE difference!

    Help In Getting The Right 80/10/10 Mix For Haretoday Chicken Recipe

    Thanks Ardina, good catch! It's not much of a difference at all! So...with the thigh cubes that probably means I have to have it ground up...I have read that keeping it cubed is great for jaw health/strength and teeth cleaning but knowing Tyler, he will not eat the chunks. Darn, that would have...

    Help In Getting The Right 80/10/10 Mix For Haretoday Chicken Recipe

    Hello everyone! My cat has been on commercial raw for 2 years now (cat had diabetes for a few months then blew it out of the water with this diet). He was originally on the commercial raw that was run well then began having shoddy business practices (forgot what it was called but they changed...

    Experience with Feline's Pride

    My cat likes to graze so I have to take the raw chicken in and out of the fridge constantly whenever possible.  I wish he would just wolf down the raw chicken in one sitting but he will only lick and take a few bites in a matter of 20-30 minutes at a time (this was the same with Feline's...

    Experience with Feline's Pride

    Unfortunately, I'm also writing about the distinct decline in quality of Feline's Pride. The first two orders I placed around this time last year were great!  I was even able to order through Amazon almost exactly a year ago on 11/11/14 the second time and got an AMAZING deal...it was 10lbs of...

    Should I be worried that the vet is not listed on AAFP's website?

    @KittyMomma1122: Yes, I just checked the American Veterinary Society, and they are registered.  Not really happy with the current feline only vet that I go to but I knew that they boarded and I wouldn't have to be concerned about mixing in dogs in the same room...they also have all my kitty's...

    Should I be worried that the vet is not listed on AAFP's website?

    I had to book a last minute flight next week so being that it's going to be Christmas, the feline-only vet I go to is full - no boarding availability. I've been shopping for other boarding facilities and have had no luck (poor boarding facility or completely full).  Then I just did a yelp search...

    She has diabetes

    I'm walking through the baking aisle at Target and picked up some light Karo corn syrup but for a completely different reason: English toffee! It's $2.46 in case you're wondering. :)

    She has diabetes

    Yep, Karo syrup is what you want to get.  Along w/ the great advice received here, it looks like you're also getting a lot of great responses at the feline diabetes board now.  :)   One thing that is a space saver if you don't have much counter space is a sharps clip.  A sharps clip cuts off...

    Vet Practice Rankings?

    @zoneout - I just noticed that you live in Stamford, CT!!!  I've been trying to find a competent vet near me and found "Just Cats" through catvets.com, then read the strong positive reviews on yelp.  That is where I plan to take my cat...Do you go there?  You're so lucky as I recall there were...

    Vet Practice Rankings?

    What I really like about the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP/catvets.com) is how they have the "Cat Friendly Practice" program where feline practitioners who have "Gold" or "Silver" status must provide a conducive environment for cats.  What validates this for me is the fact...

    Draco's Nano Reef Journal

    That is a juvenile/baby regal angelfish.  Juvenile angelfish tend to have different colors & patterns compared to their adult counterparts (they seem to be a lot more "stripey" - my scientific terminology LOL).  And angelfish can get HUGE from what I've seen on my diving adventures - I think...

    Draco's Nano Reef Journal

    Gobies are so adorable! I love how they are so curious, watch you like a HAWK, and zip into the sand if you get too close.  I hear they are extremely protective of their homes too LOL.  Those peacock colored corals (I'm not as familiar w/ corals as w/ fish) are SOOO beautiful!

    Draco's Nano Reef Journal

    Oh my gosh Draco, your salt water tank is like eye candy for me!  I have *LOVED* salt water tanks since my childhood.  I have done intense research into the subject of keeping a salt water and you deserve some major points for developing, maintaining, and growing a colorful reef system.  So...

    Medical Insurance for our Cats

    My bad - now that I'm actually looking at the policy documents, the actual cost of Tyler's pet insurance this year was $832.57, not $1,000.  It's still high but it wasn't $1k. My cat had significant health issues in the past, bladder stone surgery & asthma.  And again, he is a purebred cat, a...
