Should I Just Go All Raw??

Bruce, how do you add the bones with the chunks?

Paige,

I quarter the chicken and freeze what I am not going to use. Then cut off one to two ounces bits with kitchen shears, leaving in the bones. The cats normally don't eats all the bones, but Calvin loves to gnaw on them.

Thanks Bruce! Do you cut through the bone or just leave it whole?

The i/d you talk about paige is it the same as hills i/d ?

My vet also is letting me feed it to themba because of bad stools.

I'm not a big fan of hills anyway but it helps a bit.

Yes, Niels...i do not like it either and my vet now believes it is causing many of Cisco's issues

What kind of issues ?

First themba got the kibble and the wetfood.
Now he still gets the kibble but 3 times a day wetfood (the good kind)

I cut through them. I find the cat will spend more time chewing them if the bones are cut.

Thanks Bruce - that is good to know...I have kitchen shears, I just didn't think they cut through bones all that well...

Oh my, i hope he get better soon.
I better read the cisco topic from the beginning.
I saw some post before but didn't read the first ones.
Didn't know it was that bad.

Oh dear, that's not good - isn't that the only thing you could get Cisco to eat in recent months?
