The lady at the pet store gave me a sample of raw chicken today to feed my cats. I haven't given it to them yet.....but what are the general opinions on feeding raw foods?

I like the raw diets. My cats get a lot of raw food. However, they are not appropriate for all cats; for instance, giving raw meat to a cat with inflammatory bowel disease can result in a serious infection because the gut defenses are not intact.

Before switching to raw (or even adding raw), do enough research to understand the risks and benefits. There is a ton of info on the internet, it's very easy to find!

Cheers,

I've just recently started to feed my cats raw food, earlier I used to cook it all, but I can see a big difference in their general condition. I didn't expect that at all.

When done right I believe that raw food is the best food you can give your healthy cat.

Search the web for "cat nutrition" or "feline nutrition" and you'll find tons of info to read about it.
