Feeding Cats Raw Meat

Cats are obligate carnivores. They evolved on a raw meat diet. Feeding raw meat supplies B vitamins and necessary amino acids like taurine. I feed my cats raw meat 2-3 times per week. I also feed my dogs chicken wings twice a week. Some cats develop obesity, diabetes, urinary crystals, bowel and stomach problems on dry food. Canned food and raw food may be better choices!! dogdishdiet.com

Awwww your cat is lovely. Any plans for a book on cat nutrition anytime soon?
Obexity.
“I know you’ll give me more Greg… keep calling me Moki!” haha.
what about dog? can dogs eat raw meat as well? if so, what kind of raw meats are better for them?
@cyn88 I feed my dogs a raw chicken wing 3x per week, pieces of raw fish(salmon), and raw pork loin every couple weeks…in addition to their slow cooked dog food they have been eating for 5 years now.
@apprec8ive OK Moki, Thanks for watching!
@dzang96 I’m writing a small book about home cooking for your dog and cat.It will be published and on amazon in a couple months.
I’m wanting to do that too…good idea to start out slowly…loved the peekaboo from the dog in that shot too. Do you ever feed it to the dogs as well? Thx for sharing.
@curiosidadesextrano My dogs get a raw chicken wing or breast a couple times a week.I also treat them to a salmon or tillapia fillet if they are on sale. My dogs in the shot were wondering why they were left out! That was my lab, Tucker,hoping I would see his concern!
@DrGregDVM A variety of whole foods ensures the best nutrition and balance. That is what I suggest to all my clients.I’m not a big supplement type of vet or person.I encourage healthy human food, good quality commercial dog food, and added oils.That is what my book,Dog Dish Diet, is about.
I love Moki!!! She is SO CUTE! And that is a very good idea!
Can I feed my dog raw meat? And if so what is safest for him? The reason I ask this is because of the veternirian we went to said raw meat diet would change his behavior, yet raw meat would be his natural diet if he where wild. So, please help! Thanks.
@mslettucebfrank In Dog Dish Diet I recommend raw bones and meat for good nutrition and keeping teeth clean. I give my dogs frozen chicken wings and things and pieces of raw chicken, pork, fish, turkey. Some are allergic to beef. I also slow cook my dogs food which contains cooked chicken, chicken livers, veggies, rice. The recipe is in Dog Dish Diet. Also check out dogdishdietcom website
ok……….I am going to take the plunge. I will give my kitties some raw meat. thanks!
Your cat is adorable. I think I’ll start feeding my cat Alaskan salmon.
Also, would I have to worry about bacteria and parasites?
