@TheZu The supplement you use depends on the kind of meat.

For example, BITR is for muscle meat only. Thus, BITR has a lot of stuff in it to make up for the fact that you are only using muscle meat.

I prefer to use as much of the real thing as possible so I put organs and bones in, I add some raw fish for omega 3's, I leave some rabbit fur for fiber ...you get the idea. I have to use a different supplement that has just a few other things.

Finally, if I wanted to I could buy the vitamins and minerals individually and not use any premade supplement.

The main thing is to figure out what meat you will be able to source, and then pick the supplement that should go with it. The more work you are willing to put in, the lower the price. It's whatever works for you.

Wow! Thank you so much! I've already ordered the TCFeline, but they had a lot of the info you were saying about mimicking, knowing the meat, etc. They also recommended switching the mix, so I think I'll try the better in the raw Canadian one after.

I am very interested in building up to making my own raw, but this is my first experience and I want to cover the basics nutrionally first.

I really can't say thank you enough to everyone! You were all so helpful, honestly. You've helped turn raw feeding into not only a safe manageable option to cover my future Sphynx'' nutritional needs, but one that was surprisingly cheaper than I originally anticipated. I wager I'll be spending even less than my friends who feed commercial!
