Hi all, Haven't posted in a while, and I've been buying a lot of commercial raw and other high quality commercial wet food for the last few years, but I want to start making my own food again. I just want a second set of eyes on this question... I wrote to HareToday and didn't receive a...

My 7 year old cat is on high quality canned food. Rabbit and venison usually. For treats she gets freeze dried single ingredient goat, and rabbit treats that are simply rabbit meat and organs. She's been eating the goat treats for basically her whole life. So she started puking basically twice...

Hi guys, Quick backstory... my 5 year old cat has eaten raw food for her entire life. About two weeks ago, she started vomiting at night, out of nowhere, maybe 4 times total. (here's the thread I made about the incident: Cat Suddenly Vomiting After Years On Raw Food? ) Worrying that my frozen...

My cat currently eats a diet of raw venison + alnutrin with calcium. The venison comes ground from Hare Today. The current batch I'm using (I make about 25lbs and store it in 16oz freezable mason jars) was made at the end of March. Two nights this week, my cat vomited in the middle of the...

Hi all, My cat loves raw venison. I used Rad Cat until they went out of business, and right now I've been using Hare-Today, but they are a bit pricey for an animal that I can most likely pick up on the side of the road for free (ok that's a joke). I found this farm that sells organic...

Hi all, With the closing of Rad Cat, I need to figure out a good recipe for my cat's favorite protein, venison. Does anyone have a good recipe that contains NO chicken/turkey/duck? Thank you!

My cat has been eating raw her whole life. For the last two years it's been mainly Rad Cat, but before that it was homemade raw. About two months ago, a new cat food company sent me some free samples of different proteins. I fed the beef to my cat (she had never had beef before in any food)...

Hi all, I usually follow Dr. Pierson's recipe, but for my next batch I'd like to substitute fresh egg yolks for egg yolk powder. Does anyone know how much powder replaces one egg yolk? Also this will be the first time I include manganese in my mixes... does anyone have a suggested brand or...

I think my cat is a little bit constipated. She's always had less-frequent bowel movements than any cat I've ever owned, but I figured it's because she's only eaten raw her entire life.  Anyway I feed hare-today turkey and chicken with bones, slightly diluted with the addition of boneless meat...

So I've fed my cat a raw diet since I got her, and before that her breeder fed her raw as well. She would go through periods of refusing to eat, but then eventually she'd start up again.  I recently switched up her recipe. I went from Hare-Today ground + Alnutrin, to Hare-Today ground + Dr...

So I know that Taurine is essential and you can never really have too much, so how much are you guys actually adding? I've been using NOW Foods Taurine Pure Powder, which indicates that 1/4 teaspoon = 1000mg. I hope that's accurate, I usually just weigh everything but my kitchen scale is barely...

So as the subject says, I'm switching my recipe from Hare-Today protein + Alnutrin, to Hare-Today protein + the specific supplements that Dr. Pierson suggests.  Here is her supplement recipe for 3lbs: 1 cup water 2 eggs 5000 - 10,000 mg fish oil (5-10 capsules of the average 1,000 mg...

As mentioned before, my cat has never been a big eater, ever. She's gone through brief periods of "fasting" before, and I took her to the vet once when she was a kitten where they just re-hydrated her, and she eventually started eating again. Lately I discovered a "trick" to serving the food in...

I know a few people here use this stuff on their cat food. How come on the Mercola website it says average sized cats only need one pump per day, when one pump is only about 50mg? Also, on Amazon I see it for over $30 for just 3.92 fl ounces. I thought Icelandic Salmon Oil was expensive at $25...

So obviously I know you are never supposed to serve cooked bones. However I discovered that my cat will eat much more of her food if I heat it up slightly in the microwave. I'm talking somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds. Do you think this is OK? Can bones really "cook" that quickly, enough to be...

As the topic asks, I was wondering if anyone separately grinds bones, and/or separately grinds organs, and THEN add it to the (until now) boneless and organless meat, that way you can get a very precise measurement? 

I feed hare-today chicken and turkey mixed with Alnutrin. I portion it into 3.25 oz (approximate) servings, and put each serving into a Ziploc quart size freezer bag (  ), and then all of the little bags go into a very large 3 or 4 gallon bag which then goes into the freezer.  I'm realizing...

So I bought one of these cat toys that dispense cat treats off of Amazon:   Obviously I'm not going to fill it with dry food, but does anyone have suggestions of what I CAN stuff it with? I feed her Life Essentials Freeze Dried Chicken treats, but they are very dusty and leave residue all over...

So I just saw my baby vomit for the first time. I just put her food on the ground, but I don't think she had touched it yet. She started puking right on the carpet, and there was a big hairball in there. She is on a raw diet with several different proteins. The smell of her vomit was actually...

Occasionally I'll bring my kitty outside to my front stoop with her harness and leash. We'll hang out there and watch people walk by.  I live in Manhattan, but on a quiet block with no trucks or anything driving by. She doesn't really seem scared at all, but her behavior totally changes. Today...
