Raw Feeding

 

About 7 years ago we purchased Troy and beautiful bengal boy, Troy unfortunately had TriTrichomonas and this subsquently infected some of our kittens.  Treatment was more dangerous than the parasite and so we looked for alternative treatments.

 

We spoke to many breeders in America and found that raw food would help to change the flora in the gut thus killing the parasite.    We were amazed how quickly their symptoms improved and over a few weeks realised that the cats were  happier on a raw food, their coats were shiny and have not had any teeth problems since.

Over the years I have read numerous articles about feeding, biscuit, wet food and raw and have always felt that raw food was best for them.  After reading articles about Iams buscuit and the testing that is still carried out on animals, I decided I would never feed their food again.  I still do not believe that dried food is good for any cat, cats drink continually on a dried food diet  which is unnatural for them.

 

All our kittens are raised on a raw diet which they are usually happy to eat at around 3 weeks of age, as mum eats the same food, the kittens will quite happily investigate what she is eating and join in.

Bone and raw food

 

It is very important when feeding a raw diet that bone is included.  Raw food should be feed in 60% muscle meat, 20% bone and 20% organ

 

They can eat almost any raw food, chicken, beef, lamb, turkey, liver, kidney, heart.   It can be feed  minced or in chunks.  Chicken and turkey wings and necks.

Lamb bones with bits of meat on are loved by all.
