I feed my cats a homemade raw diet. I think raw diets are the “gold standard” in feline diet. However, I will state loudly and adamantly up front – I THINK CANNED FOODS ARE A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE CHOICE! However, there is NO DRY (KIBBLE) FOOD I deem acceptable. I will occasionally use a freeze-dried food, freeze-dried treat, or dehydrated treat as a TREAT, but not a meal… and you have to be CERTAIN they are truly freeze-dried, air-dried, or dehydrated, not processed – as many food labels are deceptive. Even if these items were ideal in every other way (low in carbohydrates, little-to-no veggies, fruit, grains, etc.) they are LACKING IN MOISTURE and that moisture is imperative to proper kidney and urinary tract health.
Doing it “right” does not mean it has to be difficult! Personally, I buy a pre-ground meat/bone/organ product (Hare Today) and add a few supplements. It is SIMPLE. See the video below!
