On a whim I decided to try the ground raw offerings from Darwin's Naturals. They are a complete food with few non-animal ingredients:
chicken: Free Range Chicken, Ground Chicken Bone, Chicken Hearts, Chicken Liver, Psyllium, Kelp, Salmon Oil, Catnip
turkey: Free Range Turkey, Ground Turkey Bone, Turkey Hearts, Turkey Liver, Psyllium, Kelp, Salmon Oil, Catnip

They have a special for first time buyers of 10 lbs for $15 including shipping. I figured for that price why not give it a try?
I don't remember if they are in Washington or Oregon but it took 3 days to get to Houston and arrived still completely frozen. The dry ice was all gone though. I doubt it would have stayed frozen if it were summer. It looks good, nice and red. The bones are finely ground.
The kitties aren't crazy about it. Zara ate quite a bit the others not very much. Considering how simple the recipe is I don't know why they wouldn't like it. I'm going to keep trying to "encourage" them to eat it. They might once they get over the "I've never smelled *this* before!" stage. Zara wouldn't eat it at first.
For $15 you can't go wrong.
