Thread: Raw Food in Conjunction with Dry

Hello Deshni,

Glad your kitten’s feeling better now. It is very sensible of you to carefully look into his diet. Such an awareness can prevent many health issues later on.

It is often believed dry food may interfere with the proper digestion of raw meat and bones. But experiences vary… some people don’t notice any problems in their cats, others report vomiting and diarrhea when dry and raw meals are given too close together. I think it’s probably best to observe how your kitty does.

Attaining balance in a raw diet is actually not rocket science, it is no more complicated than preparing balanced meals for yourself and your family. For most people the hardest things are sourcing your meats and finding the time to chop everything up for the freezer. A good alternative is prepackaged frozen raw petfood. But I don’t know if that is available in South Africa.

Hope this helps,
Anna
