Raw Pet Food for Cats, Healthy Diet?
I do not own a dog so I am more interested in learning about it for cats. I recently ordered Wild Kitty raw cat food and one of my cats just loves it. However, it is not sold in my area and costs a lot – up to almost $50 just to ship for the raw frozen though it is free shipping for the freeze dried.
Also – I read that the chicken kind of Wild Kitty came up positive for salmonella during a random federal inspection in February 2007 and that salmonella can have wicked effects not just on the animal(s) but on the human handling them.
So – what are the options for GOOD nutritious food, meaning healthier than store bought junk. I have read up on this and have read that pets now have more health problems due to all these carbs and all this junk in the basic pet food, that there is a ton of byproducts, like the parts of other deceased animals, including ones who died from various diseases. Any idea on healthy diets for cats that is also cost effective? Raw? Organic? Best Kind?
I am a cat person, I do rescue and have had my kitties on holistic diets for 10 years.
Raw would be so great *in the wild*, but in real life, as you’ve learned, there are all kinds of issues with contaminations and keeping the food fresh. Plus, it’s just plain cost and convenience prohibitive.
I spoke with another rescuer in Florida who wanted to be totally raw, but they had such issues with power outages during storms that she just couldn’t stay with it. A Golden Retriever rescuer in Virginia found it costly to ship and hard to keep enough on hand for all her Goldens.
I’ve tried lots of holistic brands. Since you’re asking for other options, I’d say, try out my favorite, Life’s Abundance. It’s done by a place called HealthyPetNet and has been around for 9 years.
I’ve also really like Canidae (for dogs) and Felidae (for cats), although the pets don’t seem to like the taste as much as Life’s Abundance. Also Wysong and Solid Gold are good but you have to find a natural foods store that stocks them. (Life’s Abundance is shipped to your door).
Whatever you choose, take a look at the video on the website below. “Do You Know What’s In Your Pet’s Food” It’s the only thing like it on the web and it will educate you about pet foods. Go holistic, that’s the only way.
Is organic food better for you?
