Has anyone had experience with pet food energetics, i.e., hot and cold meats based on Chinese medicine yin / yang? Meats that are hot (and shouldn't be fed to pets with allergies would be chicken, lamb, venison); cool meats include rabbit and duck. There are neutral meats as well.
Most fish is considered cooling, however, I won't feed my cats fish for the obvious reasons that have been discussed via TCS.
I do a mostly commercial raw with my cats, about 75% and 25% canned (turkey / rabbit) hoping to transition to 100% soon). I remember when I was feeding Ziwi Peak canned, which is mostly meat based, both venison and lamb, the cats were terribly itchy, as itchy as they were eating chicken (which the vet diagnosed as an allergy). Maybe it was the green mussels in the food - I don't know if they are allergic to fish.
I found several links (for dogs but useful for cats as well) and I'm just wondering if anyone else has experimented with hot / cold meats with their allergic cats.
