Hello everyone!
I'm very new to the idea of feeding raw and would like some advice. I have two 1-year old cats and want to look into feeding them a raw diet.
Currently I feed them 1/4 cup of Open Farm Prairie Recipe RawMix kibble mixed with a 3.2 oz can of Weruva Cats in the Kitchen wet food and a splash of chicken broth daily, split into 2 meals, and they seem happy and healthy but I want to do the best by them. I recently started buying freeze dried whole minnows and adding those and supplementing with the Fera Pets Wellness Blend for Cats too.
I've been looking online and really like the idea of feeding whole prey grinds from My Pet Carnivore and adding meaty bones for their dental health but I wasn't sure how balanced that would be. Would it be bad to feed the whole meaty bone on top of the already balanced grind and offset the benefits? Also, what proteins are the best? My cats seem to love birds (chicken, duck, turkey) so I was thinking of switching between the whole ground chicken and duck I saw on their site, but I also heard that organ meats from cows are very beneficial too. Are there any I should add with the grind specifically?
I feel like this is a silly question but I don't feel educated enough to make the jump without asking questions from more experienced raw feeders first. Any and all advice on the topic would be greatly appreciated! There is so much learning in trying to switch their diets that it seems pretty overwhelming right now. Frankenprey seems too unaccessible to me and makes me a little squeamish, but also making sure it's completely balanced and knowing when and what to supplement is also scary.
