Hello all,
I feed a rotation of whole animal grinds - rabbit, beef, mutton, turkey, and chicken - from mypetcarnivore. I add boneless muscle meat (usually heart) to lower the bone content, in the same ratio recommended by Dr. Pierson. I supplement per her recipe, with a few differences: I add manganese, which I learned about here, and I omit the lite salt.
I know that Dr. Pierson omits the lite salt from her rabbit recipe, so I am not very concerned about the mammal grinds. It is the turkey and chicken that worries me. I don't add lite salt to any of the grinds because I supplement with Plaque Off, an algae powder that has been shown to prevent dental problems. The iodine levels would be too high for comfort if I would add lite salt as well as the Plaque Off. I know that part of the motivation for adding the lite salt is potassium.
Should I be worried about a shortage of potassium in my kitty's diet?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
