I recently did a $250 nutrition consult for my dog, per our veterinarian's request . They used software from BalanceIT.com to create a nutritional profile for the diet. They didn't push the Balance It supplement on me, instead they included bone meal, fish oil, canola oil and a multivitamin in...

I emailed a while ago asking about the thyroid gland, this was the response. "The only things we remove are the intestines and feathers/fur/hides.  We do remove the heads of mutton, young beef and goats as they are too hard to run through the grinder We hope that helps, but if you need...

Thanks for the suggestions. I went through and compared calories in turkey only cat foods and found that Blue Buffalo Wilderness Turkey is 214 kcal/can. The only ingredient differences from Wild Calling are turkey broth (who knows what they can put in turkey broth), potatoes, flaxseed...

I have been struggling for years with one of my cat's allergies. The vet did an allergy panel on her that came up positive for chicken, wheat and yeast, and borderline for beets, corn, peanuts, soy, and venison. Also borderline-positive for dust mites and grain mites. The test also tested eggs...

He is going to be rechecked in a week. A couple of my other cats have been protesting the canned diet so I made a batch of raw. Edea ate his food very slowly then threw up within 1 hour of eating. I waited a couple hours and tried some canned food and he gobbled it up and has kept it down...

He is 11+ years old. His potassium was 3.2. The vet said normal range is 3.8-5.2. The vet said that his renal function is normal. She sent us home with a gel potassium supplement called Renal K+ (Potassium Gluconate). She also sent us with famotidine for nausea. He hasn't thrown up again and his...

Edea was throwing up daily for 3 days so I took him to the vet. They ran a blood panel and it came back that his potassium was low. The vet also ran a test to check his thyroid since he lost a bit of weight. The thyroid came back normal. So the vet took a look at my raw diet recipe and believes...

Update! Zelda woke up from her 4 hour nap and went to the cat feeding area so I put down spoonful of canned food and she ate it all. I put more and she ate almost half of a 6oz can on her own! Yippee! Still no vomit or diarrhea.

Thanks for the replies. I had not gotten a fecal, she was only having small amounts of diarrhea at first and was mostly vomiting, until the cerenia injection. She is an inside only cat, so I did not suspect parasites. I will try to gather a fecal sample before I take her into the vet on Monday...

I feed my cats raw twice a day at 12pm and 12am. on Thursday Zelda ate her first meal at 12pm, then at 8pm she vomited big time and it smelled really bad. At 12 am she refused to eat. I got worried because she always has a huge appetite, so much that I have to feed her in a crate so she can't...

I give my cats Orijen freeze dried treats. Three of my four cats love them. I've even crumbled them up to use as a topper when my picky cat was being a stinker over a change in my raw recipe.

I haven't tried turkey necks for my cats. I get a 40 lb case of turkey hen necks for my rottweiler. The hen necks weigh about 8 oz each. I have managed to cut them in half without a problem. First I use a sharp knife all the way around then I twist and snap it in half.

Ohki has been eating all her food for a few weeks now. She will tolerate fish oil if I give her about half the amount I give the other cats and I mix it in good. Last week I added pork kidney and had no issues. This week I introduced ground venison. They seemed to really like the latest batch of...

I am removing heart pieces as well as not adding in fish oil. The fish oil I am using is Grizzly Pollock Oil. My plan is to rotate through pollock, salmon and anchovy/sardine oils. I use a pump bottle because I also give the oil to my 3 dogs and go through a lot of oil. Do capsules tend to have...

At dinner tonight I added extra water to Ohki's and was able to remove heart pieces more easily. I also crumbled some of her new favorite treats (Orijen freeze dried lamb) over her food and she cleaned her plate!! So far no vomit.

I just made the first batch of this food and Ohki is refusing to eat it. I did 2 lb brb duck, 3 lb brb quail, 8 oz turky heart and 8 oz lamb liver. First meal Ohki ate hers slowly and left heart chunks behind. The other three gobbled it up and even devoured the extra that I scraped out of the...

I have 2 recipes I use. Both are based off Dr. Pierson's recipe. Recipe 1 uses ground whole chicken, turkey, duck, or rabbit carcass from My Pet Carnivore. 3 lbs ground whole carcass 1 cup water 2000mg taurine 400 IU vitamin e 50mg B-complex I don't add in the lite salt or fish oil. The My...

It costs about $70-$80 a month to feed my 4 cats. I have been buying ground whole chicken, turkey, duck and rabbit from My Pet Carnivore. I live close enough to pick up at HQ so I don't pay shipping.

I'm slowly transitioning Worf, my dog, by adding 1 new protein per week. My first co-op order was mainly for Worf. I got turkey necks, turkey heart, pork necks, pork heart, beef tongue and beef heart. This week I added turkey. I will add some hearts to the next batch of cat food. I will start...

I recently started my dog on raw and joined a co-op that has great prices for buying in bulk. My dog will eat about 60-90 lbs a month so buying in bulk is very practical. I can buy Blue Ridge Beef products from the co-op but these are just ground meat and bone without organ. I'd have to add in...
