A Raw Beef diet for cats

14:15:28

Question
Thank you for offering to answer my question.  I am feeding my Himalayan, Persian classic and Exotic short hair cats a total diet of raw beef with little fat and no bone.  I'm wondering what kind of supplements, in what propositions should I add to this total diet.  I am currently adding Islandic Pure anchovi oil for Pets... 6 oz/ 10 lbs of raw meet.  Should I add salt.    What kind of antitoxins should I use....if any.  Is this diet adequate for pregnant and nursing moms.  Some of my moms are not producing enough milk for their babies and they are dying.
Thank you for time and effort

Answer
Kathleen,

We feed raw meat, but not by itself. We add a vitamin/mineral/herb mixture we concoct based on Kitty Bloom VM300+ We add K-Zyme, dry vitamin E, vitamin B-50, bone meal, etc.

Also, I would go to a website:  https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CatNutrition/info.  You can subscribe by sending an e-mail to: catnutrition-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

I found this site very, very helpful.

BTW, besides our vitamin/mineral/herb mixture we give a small amount of wet cat food (1 can/4-6 cats) and a couple of Tbsp's of dry food (no wheat, no corn, no soy, no gluten).

For a pregnant/nursing female, I would add more bone meal.

Best regards... Norm.
