Hi,
There are many ways to feed raw. I am no expert but just like you, starting researching, asking questions and finally experimenting on my own. So, I started out with a dehydrated food called Prowl, by
Honest Kitchen (have to put it on list). My boy loved it but it, but he was a kitten and needed supplementation with it. The good thing is that the company is great - you can call and speak with them. I have also tried
Nature's Variety Dehydrated raw and both cats love it.
I then began ordering raw rabbit chunks or ground rabbit when I got my second Savannah from
Hare-Today, as well as ground turkey and chicken. This has to be supplemented with taurine and perhaps salmon oil, etc. Hare-Today sold a supplement called Simply Raw and I love it - mixed it in with the ground and had 8 pounds of raw from 5 pound ground raw chicken.
Then I started grinding my own chicken (legs and thighs or combo leg/thigh) with skin and adding Simply Raw. I have used many different forms of supplements to find what my cats will eat from
TC Feline to
Mazuri - all are different but very good and all have wonderful customer service who will take the time to talk to you and help you.
Taj (my boy) decided he no longer wants to eat raw and I am not going to force him. Zuri, my F4 SBT, now eats whole prey...and I get that frozen from
Rodent Pro.
I know I probably have confused you more, but perhaps I gave you something to think about? You have to do what you feel comfortable with.
I'm sure others will chime in here.
