raw diet

Hello! I have been battling runny stools with my boy Bambi since I got him in June 2022. I have changed his diet many times trying to figure out what is the right fit. I have been up all night researching on this site, Facebook, Reddit, Google, etc. for food suggestions as this seems to be a...

Hello all, It is with immense heartbreak and devastation that I have joined these forums because I've been looking at finding a new home for my beloved Everest. He is my heart cat, I have always wanted a sphynx and we have been closer than any animal I've ever bonded with. But due to my own...

So I started giving my 2 cat raw my older cat liked it and I’ve tried it with her before. After many much thought i made my mind to do the switch for both of them my other cat was eating kibble and wet food but I didn’t like the results I believe in the power of raw so I wanted her to eat raw...

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well. I've been reading the Raw DIet threads and have come across some really important points when it comes to transitioning our babies to a raw diet. However, I'm still having some doubts and questions in regard to the full transitional process. So far...

Hi all! I'm converting my baby to a Raw Diet in the next couple of weeks. I've been able to pin-point a really great recipe, linked here! They mention that we should be feeding real bones, but my local butcher nor I have access to bone a grinder. Does anyone have any suggestions for any...

Hi, do you think the Natural Instinct Turkey raw meat Country Banquet (Cat) Turkey has all the needed, nutritional ingredients in it? And the other Natural Instinct raw meat ones? Does the Natural Instinct Turkey raw meat contain taurine? And if so, is it enough taurine? What percentage or how...

Hello all, My sphynx Draco gets red bumps/patches and scabs. They seem to be allergy related. They will get pretty mild, then disappear, then come back again. My vet has given him a cortisone shot before and they tamed down. Anyways, I went to a holistic pet shop near me and the owner really...

Hi guys, Warning long post ahead. Kitty: NALA age: 6 Ever since I got sweet Nala she has had allergies, she has been on every diet, hydrolyzed protein, 3P raw food (camel, kangaroo, rabbit), Royal Canin, Hills, Purina, Science diet. She does good for awhile(6mths to a year) and then boom...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the sphynx lair and I'm in the process of adopting a sphynx. He won't be ready till February as he isn't even born yet lol but I've done tons of research to educate myself about sphynxes to understand them and see what would be best for them. I've read that a lot of...

hey guys! I just adopted my second little girl who seems to be giving me more problems than I could’ve imagined. My first sphynx (whom I got 2 years ago) has had no issues in health. I adopted Jasmine 4 weeks ago (she just turned 1) and seems to have a rash that nobody can figure out. She...

Hi All! Hope everyone and their babies are happy and healthy! I've shared before, my issues with my kitty Claudia and her sensitive tummy. She currently eats a wet only prescription diet and although its helped her constant diarrhea i'm just not impressed with it. I feel like she looks...

I've been trying to convert our sphinx girl to raw diet this week. I know it may take some time but so far she does not like ground turkey at all but will pick at and periodically finish a chicken breast meal (both mixed with supplements). I have tried adding broth to both and she nixed...

I cannot stomach 'fixing' the raw food myself. To those of you that can, you are better than I. lol Are there online business that are better than others to purchase the raw food? I have one girl with gastic issues and think the switch to raw would help. One company that came up was Darwins...

I'm currently researching and considering transitioning to a raw food diet for my two Sphynx kitties and Pomeranian. Does anyone else do this or have transition tips?

Hi! I am trying to start my two sphynxs on a raw diet, but I am at a loss as to where I should be buying ground meat. I have Better in the Raw supplement, that I just need to add ground meat with. I don't have a grinder, so I need it already ground. Should I just contact a local butcher? What...

So bought a thing of raw food today lol now to see if she will eat it. It's buddies natural pet food apparently lol just grabbed one from the freezer that was in trial form. Don't need $30+ to toss if she hates it. Now to wait for it to defrost! Will be used more so as a treat, 3-4 times a...

hi guys! Just out of curiosity have any of you gone from dry food to a raw diet? Our guy is a rescue and he came eating dry food but has become intolerant to his sensitive biscuits. Does anyone know if a raw diet is better for a sensitive belly and if it sorts out the loose bowels ect? His...

Hi all! My name is Sara, I'm new to the sphynx lair and a new sphynx mummy! My bubby's name is Francis and he's a little 4 month old boy weighing roughly 1.5-2kg. I've read a previous thread to see if I am feeding him too much but as said, he's still a baby so let him eat as much as he likes...

Hello!!! I am feeding Primal raw nuggets rabbit and I was wondering if anyone else uses this and what serving size you use. My girl is right around 5lbs (she's very petite) and it says for her weight to do 2-3 nuggets a day. Right now, I am at 6 and she still begs and screams for food. I'm a...

Hi guys - wanted to get some input on Cleo's recent development. The past two nights she has thrown up around 2am. It's completely digested food, not a clear liquid or bile, but it's fairly runny because she's on a raw diet. She eats ground duck with bone 2x a day, and it's been doing great for...

Hey guys, I've got a long post, sorry. I deleted my original one (argh!) so I'm going to try again in less words. There's a lot going on with my kitty and I'm pretty worried about him. I've been having issues with my eldest, Raz, for awhile now. - irritation - oily skin - conjunctivitis in...

After almost a year from losing our beloved Pez, we are ready to bring our new baby Rumpel home August 2nd! The breeder has suggested raw diet and I'm looking for insight on good commercial brands to get us started? Any info would be GREATLY appreciated ;)

We started feeding raw a week ago and our littlest, Walter, took to it like second nature. This is great because he has HCM and we wanted to feed him raw for health reasons. As for Sturgeon...well, he's picky. We started with ground chicken and he refused to go near it. He also doesn't like...

Hello all, We recently decided to switch Walter and Sturgeon over to a raw diet-- especially with Walter's HCM diagnosis we think this would be beneficial. The first step was to get rid of dry food. We took away the dry food and we're feeding them three cans of wet food (5.5 oz) throughout the...

Hi everyone. Me again with more food questions! So sorry--but I want to make sure I start this baby off right! So, I ordered my BITR mix but they emailed and said they are waiting to get their food from the supplier and said that it hasn't shipped yet. We get our baby the 2nd weekend in...
