I know they aren't nutritionally complete, but since they are just meat basically, can I feed them to my cats a few times a week? We do half canned, half kibble everyday. Would I have to worry about adding any supplements on the days they eat it?

I have a cat who can't have any grains, chicken, or turkey, and I need to make sure I know what all my options are :)

As an occasional treat it is fine. No supplementation is needed if you feed it as a treat less than 10% of the diet.

Have you tried limited ingredient diets? Those can be helpful for cats with food allergies and sensitivites. Novel protein diets can be helpful, too.

I do currently feed Feline Caviar Venison for kibble and Natural Balance Vension Limited Ingredient canned because they are both venison and peas. We've done the elimination using these foods with fantastic results. I would now like to introduce more proteins again, slowly, to see what she can handle, and the larger cans are more economical for 2 cats. Obviously I don't want to do so at the expense of their health though!

So I added a scoop of Wellness 95% Lamb to their food yesterday and Lydia threw up twice, once about 8 hours after eating it and another time about 6 hours after that. Both were pretty "empty" of food. However, she is not wanting to touch it this morning. Is this an indication that she can't handle lamb?

For clarification, Jasmine is the one who can't have chicken, turkey or grains. Lydia before now has not shown any issues with any foods, though she tends to be pickier.
