Help with raw percentages

[Brandi]

We switched to raw almost a month ago and have been using the pre made which is expensive and has veggies which Ren doesn't need. I found a company close that offers the following pack. Can anyone tell me if I will need to use supplements as well and if so which one?

If I'm understanding the percentages correctly-it looks fine.

Thank you Andreanar! I am supper excited because it will cost me about $40 a month for 20 pounds for my hungry little boy. The Primal only last about 4.5 days at $17-20 a bag.

What is the site for the food?

I would recommend trying a little tripe before getting the pack as I know that both of my cats hated it. Is the chicken with bone ground ? As again kitty might not be up for eating bigger bones

I go 80% meat 10% bone 10% organ. Looks like there is a little more organ than I would use overall but you can mix and match to create the right ratio.

That is a good price though I wish my freezer was bigger!

The only thing I would worry about is the 20 percent tripe... it seems like a lot, and I don't know what the purpose is of having it in there or how nutritionally significant it is.

 

[Brandi]

Yes it is ground.

I have read that tripe has a diverse profile of nutrients.

The site is texas tripe.com

I am also thinking about the turkey/pork blend. It is 60%drumstick 30% pork heart and 10% pork liver
or the chicken blend 65%chicken qtrs 25% chicken heart 10%chicken liver

 

[andreanar]

You can use all of them. It's ok to change it up. Tripe is supposed to be really good for them.

Thank you all for the feedback. After reading all your comments I ended up ordering 10# chicken blend , 10# turkey blend and the company gave me 2# of the blend with tripe for free to see if Ren will eat it.
