I'm just starting out a raw diet for my cats, and I admit I'm still awfully nervous about the prospect of preparing and balancing my own home made diet. It's funny, I pride myself in my skills in balancing my own diet and am always the type to give human food advice to friends and family, but I still feel so nervous about doing it for my cats! I'm probably overthinking it. I'm trying to gather as much info as possible to help me feel more confident, so I've been posting around at a lot of different places.
In any case, to help ease some of my nervousness, I'm trying to start with a combo of premade raw (Primal) and home made raw. I feel like the premade will give me a bit of a nutritional safety-net while I'm building confidence in my own diet-balancing skills. For the moment the cats are on all-Primal until I can account for all the supplies I need and get a menu worked out. I plan on doing frankenprey-style feeding.
I was wondering if anyone else here feeds like this? Is it difficult to balance? Anything I should be wary of? I'm still debating whether I want to try to prepare "complete" meals of home made raw each time, or feed amounts gradually over the week. Would that make much of a difference?
