We have been trying to switch our very addicted to dry food cats over to raw. We are going for the frankenprey approach. So far they will only really touch it when it's mixed with canned wet food. But it's been so very slow. Is it normal for it to take so long for them to adjust?
Also, they won't eat bones at this point, so how can I ensure they're getting everything they need?
It's absolutely necessary for our cats to be switched over as we have one cat who has major skin and digestion problems. We've tried once before and weren't completely successful with a complete switch over. They were still eating canned wet food. But our cat with problems stopped pulling his hair out, his eyes cleared and he stopped vomiting his dinner up on the floor. Well one day they all just stopped eating the raw food all together, so out of fear I started putting dry kibble out again. Well, Timmy, the one with problems, starting pulling his hair out, gunky eyes and vomiting again. So we NEED to get them switched over. I may be able to grind bones with my mom grinder but I will have to try first to see if it can handle it. Are there other options other than feeding bones that wouldn't be so time consuming? And I will have to sit down and do the math on the amounts of food they all need.
But I am happy to say that our two some what overweight cats have lost weight and are within the healthy ranges again!! Raw cat food is just simply the best way to feed a feline. So many benefits and I'm so thankful for having found this site. Thanks to any of the replies I may get. :luv
