| http://www.holisticat.com/well-fed/Your kitty is what s/he eats. What Hippocrates said - "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" - is just as true for cats as it was/is for humans. A properly-fed cat is also a healthy happy cat who should be able to stay out of the vet's office other than for wellness checks. As we have told (reluctant to feed raw) folks on my forum for years - spend money now on real food i.e. highest quality meat, or spend it later on vet visits especially if feeding poor quality commercial food. All of a cat's needs should come from an almost 100% meat (including bones and organs in prey ratios) diet with no supplements. With the exception of accounting for the freeze-rethaw nutrient loss, any supplementation is purely for insurance as we have no knowledge of your particular meat sources or choices. If you can get freshly butchered/caught grass-fed meat, you do not need to add any minerals, vitamins, etc. Buono Appetito! | |
