I've been reading quite a bit on food and pet health. If you are considering a raw or homemade diet I would strongly suggest finding a vet who supports this way of feeding. It's always easier to have guidance from a vet to make sure everything you feed is balanced properly.

Second, I would pick up this book - Dr. Pitcairn's Natural Health for Dogs & Cats A friend of mine suggested I read this book and it's full of practical and useful information.

I'll be slowly introducing this new way of feeding to my two cats over the next several months and it's a wonderful resource.
