After losing my two cats in the past year, both to hyperthyroidism and CKD, I began to research the impact of food on their systems. I was pretty astounded to find out just how horrible food, especially kibble, is for them. In the next few weeks, we are hoping to bring two more kitties into our home and I've been thinking raw will be the way to go. Clearly raw doesn't solve all problems and some are genetic and will happen regardless, but I want to do MY part in providing them the best nutrition I can. That said, I'm not ready to dive into making my own raw just yet so I was thinking I would start with an already premade mix. It seems like most of them have one downfall or another. Ie Primal has vegetables, Stella and Chewy's has high ash and phosphorus and now adds pea fiber etc. NW Naturals is the only one I haven't really found any negatives about. Are there any? Rad cat obviously is the best option but as I was calculating it out, realized that according to their feeding guidelines, kittens could eat up to 8oz which times two kittens would be 16 oz a day. The 16 oz container at my store is $17 which makes it $17 a day to feed two cats. Ouch!
So, how do you all handle all the issues with food? Do you rotate brands to try and minimize exposure? Any thoughts on NW Naturals?
Thank you!
