I have eight cats, one of whom has FIV. I have checked with both my regular vet and a holistic vet about feeding raw. I have been feeding all of them a mixture of grain free canned, some grain free kibble as a treat, and raw. As of two and a half weeks ago, we have completely eliminated the kibble. The raw that I feed has been treated with HPP. I don't feel comfortable feeding my FIV girl raw that hasn't been treated that way. I now would like to start making my own homemade to replace the canned. I would also like to make my own raw as feeding eight cats commercial premade raw is quite expensive and I need to cut down in my budget.
I would like to use Bravo chubs because I know those are treated with HPP. Do you know of any other brands that treat their chubs that way?
I have tried in the past to grind my own, but it was a disaster. I am looking for a premix supplement. I am getting a bit confused on what I need. It seems like some have everything and some require the addition of fish oil. My cats do not like food when I add salmon or any fish oil. I do have one guy who will eat just plain salmon oil, but he's the exception.
My cats range in age from one and a half to twelve years old. I have some that would eat strictly raw, and some who aren't so sure about it. Hence why I've been feeding a mixture. What premixed supplements do most cats prefer?
I've also been looking at U-Stew. Any words of wisdom regarding that?
I really want to mix up the proteins. I have three cats that love beef and venison, so I am open to trying all different kinds of proteins.
Finally, for those of you who feed raw and homemade, what do you use for treats??
Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.
