[Think free or die]

I’ve been making food for our kitties since last spring. When the chinese adulterated ingredients were discovered, and pet food recalls started, I learned more about feline nutrition and changed their diet. They’re both 8 years old, and at a healthy weight. Our calico dropped some excess weight, and she and her sister are in great shape (for indoor kitties). Callie used to throw up frequently when she ate kibble of any kind. Now they get a home-prepared chow made with raw chicken, turkey, rabbit or duck. No more stomach upsets, and their dinner vanishes almost as soon as the dish hits the floor. Very gratifying, and far fewer worries about adulterated ingredients. I just hope my ground meat supplier doesn’t go out of business for a looonng time!

When I first started preparing the dog food, I was cooking the meat with the rice. Then I did further reading and found that feeding the meat raw was better, just as you are doing. Makes it easier as well, as all I have to do is defrost the meat.
