Does anyone feed raw?

www.holisticat.com, one of the members of my Lab natural diets forum recommended it.

I live in New York City, Ill never find a vet that supports a raw diet. Most of the courses the vets here take in school are founded by pet food companies. And they certainly didnt help with my Labs allergies, I had to research for months about the connection between grains and allergies.

I read up about Taurine, and a fellow raw feeder recommended I start with soft bone meals like Quail and chicken wings. And the recommended bone meal, organ meat percentage is about the same for my dogs.

Last night Irwin had a chicken breast, some chopped chicken hearts and a little liver.

Hes also still on Glucosamine supplements which has taurine in it.

Rather than a book which would not have information for formulating a diet based on YOUR particular pets needs.

Maybe try this site....https://www.petdiets.com/Consult/default.asp It's run by a vet and works with your vet to come up with a homemade diet designed SPECIFICALLY for YOUR pet. It's not cheap but you would know it's what your pet needs, not a blanket recipie.

I quickly responded last night, but of course, I meant to consult with a vet (not just pick up a book) when changing a cats diet. Especially, since he already has a health issue, I stressed the guidance of a vet. The book is a just a really good primer on the subject - not an overall authority guide.

Yes, am familiar with Holisticat and it has a huge archive that you can spend literally hours reading it.

Here's the website of the AHVMA (American Holistic Veterinarian Medical Association) - just plug in your location and it will give you a list of vets that support holistic practices. Check here -----> AHVMA Vet List

Theres none in New York City, I just checked the link. I figured that. 12 million people and no holistic vets. Theres 2, 3-4 hours away upstate and one in Connecticut.

We found a vet here in Calgary that supports RAW. He was listed on one of the food companies websites.
