Thread: Dangers of feeding commercial (Purina) pet food

Well said!! Both!


I hope that no one in my post reads them as I dictate that YOU must feed BARF that was never my intention, my intention was to answer the question, BARF Versus other foods, I chose RAW.. simple..

When I sell a kitten this kitten is fed BARF too and if people do not like this then go elsewhere for a kittens simple!! And if people then think they can pay me lip service and say oh yes he will be fed this way then send me a dear Debbie email one week before he is to be delivered, then yes they will have a problem with me!

Since I have started feeding this way I have had adopted several kittens, all those kittens are still BARF fed, and the owners that have other cats prior to mine arriving have also changed, I did not put their arm up their back! they saw the look of the cats and the benefit of BARF to dried.


If a new owner wishes me to feed half and half I am happy to do this once a deposit is paid, but if you know I feed BARF and then say oh well he will as soon as I get him/her, then he/she only get buiscuits then thats the wrong attitude is all I will say.


There is also a matter of listening, I feed BARF for my own reasons stated above, and it is an expensive alternative but it suits me. But when you feed BARF you have to understand that you just can't like one person said to me, they will get a couple of chicks in the morning and then have dried food down all day for the rest of the time? That wrong also as I pointed out to this person more than once... Giving her links to many BARF websites in English so she could read them.

The digestive time for BARF and Dried are different, so if you are going to feed BARF and buiscuits there has to be many hours between feeds to ensure that the cats has digested the BARF food which takes longer to digest, so if you feed chicks/ meat etc in the morning then the buiscuits can be put down at supper time or when you go to bed...


The best tale of all is my two pet Abyssinians recently sent to the States, they have their own blog.

Wendy and Mark feed a brand of Raw called Natures Variety food, which you can get in RAW, tinned, and Buiscuit form, they bought all three. JUST in case lol The Buiscuits are made of organic meat and Vegetables.

They Mark and Wendy had to go to work for half a day leaving the boys at home for the first time, and they were worried they would starve! So they left a dish of buiscuits down for them, after an early breakfast leaving 6 hours digestion time. The boys did not touch a buiscuit, when their mum and dad came home with the RAW minced Lamb dish of the day, that they ate!



Now if certain people wish to jump all over this post then, get on with it.. But I have read and re read my previous posts on this subject and the comments in them have not been me JUMPING on people who do not feed RAW!!
