To treat or not to treat

[just mike]

I let my cats gave raw chicken gizzards as a treat. They also help keep their teeth clean!

Do you cook the gizzards or feed them raw?

Personally, I fed raw and would feed raw gizzards to Ritz, but she isn't really fond of them.

Gizzards are so tough to chew, I think either raw or cooked would be beneficial for the teeth.

Gizzards ARE good for their teeth! I'm trying to get Mazy and Queen Eva to eat larger pieces of gizzard to increase the benefit but I still find myself cutting them up smaller about halfway through their meal to help them finish. Jennie has not trouble eating bigger chunks.

I posted a video just this morning in the raw forum of Queen Eva and Jennie eating Cornish hen wings. I made the video because I wanted to really watch what they were doing, I mean look at the video repeatedly, to see how they were managing. You can really see how the bone in meals benefit their dental health.

I feed them raw. I partition them out in containers then deep freeze first. Let em thaw in the fridge and that's it!
