Hi all, came upon this community via rawdogs and rawfedcatsI adopted this guy (see avatar) just over a month ago and in that time switched him from low-quality kibble/canned grain food (what he was eating at the shelter) to high-quality canned and kibble grain & grain-free food, then just high-quality canned grain-free & grain, and now he's on a 100% raw, grain- ( Read more... )

Hi everyone ( Read more... )

My cats have been eating grain-free, carbohydrate-free homecooked food for the last four years how, and they're doing great on it. Or at least they're doing great for sixteen-year-old cats. *grin ( Read more... )

Anyone have any recipes for making grain-free dog treats/cookies? I'm not really a good baker (In that I could never make up my own recipes and figure out what to replace with what to make grain free) and google has proved discouraging...

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello ( Read more... )

I have to vent.

For those of you who feed non-commercial diets like Natura brand foods ("the healthiest pet food in the world" ;), how do you support your argument that these foods are better than what's on the shelves at grocery stores and PetSmart/PetCo?

My fiance's mom bought their pittie (adopted from the CNYSPCA two years ago) a bag of Innova ( Read more... )

My cats, fourteen and fifteen years old, have been on a mix of home-cooked and raw for about two and a half years now, and the fourteen year old is being rather puzzling. He was always a picky eater, liking only kibble and white-meat turkey, but since he's been off kibble he's discovered food--or rather FOOD!!!!--in a big way, willing to try any ( Read more... )
