![]() ![]() Each cat is unique, and you'll have to judge what works best for your cat. Bear in mind that some cats seem to get constipated without additional fiber, whereas other cats seem to get constipated if they get too much fiber. I rarely add much psyllium to my adult cats' diet. ![]() As a general rule, I recommend using psyllium when an adult cat first gets raw food. If your cat has been eating low-quality commercial food for several years, especially dry food, she may have lost bowel elasticity and may benefit from the extra fiber. **Not all cats require additional fiber (psyllium) in their diet. The Essential Fatty Acids in salmon oil are extremely fragile, and since we do not know exactly how much gets lost during freezing, I think it's wise to use a bit of fresh salmon oil directly on the food a few times a week. ![]() *Every two or three days, I suggest sprinkling a few drops of fresh salmon oil from a newly-opened capsule on to the cats' food. Cats like their food at something approximating "mouse body temperature." To serve, portion into a 'zipper baggie' and warm under hot water in the sink. The food shouldn't be left thawed in the refrigerator more than 48 hours before serving. The food expands when frozen and you don't want lids popping off. Portion into containers and freeze.ĭon't overfill the containers. Finally, put the three mixtures together-the "supplement slurry" that you have just mixed, the ground up meat/bone/organs, and the chunks of meat that you cut up by hand. Add psyllium at the end - if you're using it - and mix well. If you had to replace liver with Vitamin A/D or replace heart with Taurine, add the substitutes now. Fill a bowl with 2 cups of water and whisk everything (non-meat) except the psyllium. Once ground, stir this meat/bone mixture well and return to refrigerator.ģ. Grind the raw liver, any skin, raw meaty bones, and raw heart. Chunk up (i.e., cut) as much of the muscle meat (minus most of the skin if using chicken or turkey, but leave skin on if using rabbit) as you can stand into bite-sized (nickel-sized, approximately) pieces. Remove about half of the skin from the muscle meat. It is also not a bad idea to sprinkle extra Taurine from a capsule on the food as you're serving it two or three times a week, just to be certain your cat is getting plenty of this critical amino acid.ġ. NOTE: If you will not be using the food immediately and freezing for more than a week or two, toss in 4000 mg of additional Taurine to make up for what may get lost during storage. if using whole psyllium husks see note at bottom of recipe**) If you can't find the liver, add another 200 grams of meat/bone.Ĥ raw egg yolks (use eggs from free-range, antibiotic-free chickens if you can)***Ĥ capsules raw glandular supplement, such as, for example, multigland supplement by Immoplex.Ĥ000 mg salmon oil (see note at bottom of recipe*)Ģ00 mg Vitamin B-50 complex (i.e., four capsules of B-50) ![]() In other words, if you cannot find heart, you add another 400 grams of the meat/bones. NOTE: If you cannot find the heart or liver and decide to substitute with the Taurine/Vitamin A and D, then remember to REPLACE the missing amount of organ meat with the equivalent amount of muscle meat. Raw Cat Food Diet Recipe Made WITH Real BonesĢ kg raw muscle meat with bones (chicken thighs and drumsticks or, better, a whole carcass of rabbit or chicken amounting to 2 kg if you don't use a whole carcass, opt for dark meat like thighs and drumsticks from chicken or turkey and remove/don't use 20 to 25 percent of the bone if using whole rabbit, which has a higher bone-to-meat ratio than chicken, dilute the extra bone by adding another 20 to 25 percent of plain muscle meat and skin and fat from rabbit, chicken, or turkey)Ĥ00 grams raw heart (best not to use use beef heart if no heart is available, substitute with 4000 mg Taurine)Ģ00 grams raw liver (don't use beef liver if you can't find appropriate liver, you can substitute 40,000 IU of Vitamin A and 1600 IU of Vitamin D-but try to use real liver rather than substitutes) ![]()
