I wish I could feed raw. Mine just ignore it in favour of the canned Purina and the ones in those little pouches with the “gravy” that is so greedily licked up!
There are some websites by holistic vets who give tips on how to introduce raw to animals (very slowly for dogs to prevent digestive upset), and over a longer period of time for cats because they get “addicted” (literally!) to what they are fed....refusing all else. Takes time and patience but it’s possible to do. For cats, check out littlebigcat.com (Dr. Jean Hofve’s site/blog) and for pet issues in general: healthypets.mercola.com (Dr. Karen Becker). She has great articles on feeding and her book “Real Food for Healthy Dogs and Cats” is our raw feeding guide. The key is not to give up. It can take months to get cats to switch, but it can be done —dogs generally take less time because they are “scavengers” by nature and will eat most anything. Hope that helps!
