There definitely was another one I read about here before. BalanceIt you add after you cook and the other I think you added it before you cook. I just found one mentioned here but don't have time right now to read details. But I'll try and post about it here if I do.So far that's the only one I've seen, but will be following this for when I become a stay at home cat mom
Thanks so much, I'll look at both of those options.Alnutrin is definitely one and EZ Complete is another. Either can be used with cooked homemade food. EZComplete Premix Information (foodfurlife.com)
Will keep that in mind. I have multiple foods with green-lipped mussels as well as most of the other vitamins EZ Complete uses so I think they'll be fine stomach wise.We use Alnutrin (with egg shell calcium) for homemade cooked food. I don't like dealing with the liver but EZ Complete has an ingredient (I'm almost sure it's the green-lipped mussels) that makes one of our cats barf. EZ Complete is definitely ezier than Alnutrin but Alnutrin works much better for us because it's so basic and flexible. Alnutrin will send free samples if you send them a SASE.
Balance It has always struck me as overly wonky and complicated, too. And expensive, though given the "overly complicated," it's hard to tell how expensive it is!
Definitely keep it in mind, particularly given that food issues can pop up when you least expect them. We fed EZ Complete food for some years (I don't remember how many but "plural" years!) before something in it, most likely the mussels, began to bother Edwina. Of course EZ was the last thing I suspected of causing her barfing: it's a great supplement so it was not one of the first things I tried taking out of Edwina's diet!Will keep that in mind.

I get what Balance It was going for since another concern of cat foods in general is if your cat is getting the appropriate balance of calories to vitamins. But seeing that in it made me concerned.
This makes sense, sometimes food allergies/sensitives aren't something that happens the first time it's eaten. So could end up being an issue for my cats down the road as well.Definitely keep it in mind, particularly given that food issues can pop up when you least expect them.
