Hello! I'm considering using Darwin's introductory offer to get my cats acclimated to raw before transitioning to homemade, but I know high bone content and the resulting constipation is likely guaranteed. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for diluting the bone content to a safe amount (or if it would even be possible to do this knowledgeably? I didn't see a mention of what percentage of their food is composed of bone)?
Thank you!
- I was considering mixing a poultry and lamb packet (50/50?) and using that instead. However, I heard new proteins should be introduced slowly in raw food and I'm unsure if introducing two proteins at once would be considered too much?
- I would prefer not to order exclusively lamb because I don't have plans to incorporate lamb into a homemade rotation. However, if it is more important to have a cat acclimated to the texture/nutrients/etc. of raw during a transition, rather than the protein, I can reconsider this!
- I don't currently have a grinder or food processor at home, so any meat I introduce myself at this stage would be chunked at best and I don't yet know if my cats will eat it for a meal. (I assume any meat I introduce would need to be supplemented if the transition is far enough along that it is no longer considered a treat.)
Thank you!
