Natural Pet Nutrition for Your Cat

What about cats? Cats are a different story as any person who owns both cats and dogs will tell you. Cats have a reputation for being finicky and rightly so (Morris made millions being finicky!) So where does one start with cats?

First, their dietary needs are different from yours and those of dogs. Cats thrive on high-fat, raw diets. Cats require nutritional elements that are destroyed by cooking (another reason why even “wet” food is not the greatest choice for your pet.) What does that mean in terms of how you would prepare food for your cat? You can easily up the nutrition level of your cat’s food while in transition to a more natural diet by adding cod liver oil to her food (also good for dogs.) You can mix in ground free-range, organically-raised turkey, chicken, beef or lamb with your cat’s favorite kibble. You can also give your cat raw bones (yes-cats eat bones too!)

Dr. Pitcairn's New Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats ,an authoritative book on the subject of natural pet care, recommends feeding raw bones to your cat and dog. The fact is, by making even small changes to your pets' diet, you can make positive changes in their well-being. If you'd like to start with natural cat treats, follow the recipe here.

You probably like to be treated as much as your cat does! Go ahead and treat yourself (or someone else) for being a great cat parent by clicking here!
