Feline Raw Diet

The shelves at any pet store offer a wide variety of commercial cat foods, but a biologically-appropriate diet of fresh raw meat may offer the best nutritional option for our cats.
  1. Cats are Carnivores

    • Cats are true carnivores and must have meat to survive. Raw food replicates most closely what wild cats eat.

    Cats Don't Need Grains

    • Most commercial cat food contain grains (corn, rice, barley). Cats cannot process grains, so they provide no nutritional value. A raw diet eliminates grains from a cat's diet.

    A Raw Diet Improves Digestion

    • A raw diet improves digestion. Cats must chew the food, rather than gulp it down. The slower eating process allows the digestive tract to produce and activate the proper acids, which improves digestion and common issues such as inflammatory bowel disease.

    A Raw Diet Improves Oral Health

    • Dental issues are common in cats that eat commercial foods. The ripping and chewing of raw food works as a natural cleaner, keeping teeth and gums free of tartar, plaque and bacteria that cause gum disease.

    A Raw Diet Improves Behavior

    • A raw diet encourages a cat's natural behaviors. Cats are prey animals; the process of eating raw meat stimulates the cats' instincts, providing both mental and physical stimulation.
