Raw Food Options For Our Cats

Today just sharing some of the resources WE use and include here in our feeding rotation.

Remember when raw feeding you MUST absolutely without fail rotate your proteins.

This company offers several different protein sources/blends including beef, duck, chicken, venison AND free shipping to Arizona with minimum order.

This company also offers several different blends made to the 80/10/10 ratio so those diets will have to be adjusted a bit but they do offer a nice cat option pre-pattied in a purrfect 84/10/4 ratio AND they include 3 different protein sources as well! Beaver for a novel protein is offered.

This company is the staple of many breeders in the US, us included. Their kitten mix is a blend of 2 protein sources, but all their products (in cat foods) requires the use of a completer. Quail for a novel protein is offered.

This company is closed to orders currently as they are in the process of a sale - but in the past we've really liked their products. We will keep an eye out and hopefully they'll come back strong.

We have not used and just recently ran across this company located in CA. They too sadly are going thru a restructure but are still doing sales. Novel proteins include guinea fowl , goat, elk and antelope!

We know many of these options require either large purchases to ship which means not just a large investment, but storage as well. We always suggest checking out your local ethnic markets as many are very friendly to meat options.

Here in AZ our Asian markets often carry frog for less than $5 /lb, quail eggs, whole quail, whole frozen minnows, duck and rabbit. Many Hispanic markets also carry local raised meat products including livers, spleens, tongue, sweatbreads, testicles ( yes it's exactly as it sounds), fresh tripe ( not blanched white) kidneys, gizzards and more. It is very much worth taking a look around your local markets in my opinion.

Also - the other thing I like to point out is because cats are NOT dogs a monthly "box" style order is generally not going to work out well for most pet owners. I do not like the continuous "meal plan" here's my credit card send it to me forever. Cats need rotation in their diet and these types of plans are not conducive to that.
