This is interesting, a pre-mix of the vitamins and minerals and then you choose the protein to mix it - cooked.
The company also has a powder for raw diets. The convenience of it is appealing, but my guess is that it has a taste which may not go over well with the cats. Measuring out ingredients one item at a time---grinding eggshell, etc are the the things that would give me pause on a homemade diet.
Curious if others have experience with this product.

Looks like the recipe is 1/2 cup of U-stew to 2 lbs of meat and 1.5 cups of water.There is considerable debate regarding raw vs. cooked cat food. Over the past several years we have come to realize that not all cats are willing to eat a raw meat diet, and trying to switch them over is not always successful. Even though feeding a raw meat diet is always the best option for the feline, feeding a balanced homemade cooked diet can be the next best thing. The result is a formulation that enhances the cooked meat to such an extent that it replaces the nutritional deficit (caused by cooking) with sufficient supplementation. We have added digestive enzymes for stomach and intestinal health; taurine for enhancing the natural levels already found in the meat and essential fatty acids from fish.
U-Stew for Cats was developed because we believe that feeding a home-prepared diet to our feline companions is the most nutritious and most palatable choice we can make. Knowing exactly what your cat is consuming gives peace of mind and reassurance they're getting what they need to maintain optimal health.
