thankfully there are more and more vets that are supporting a fresh food raw diet for cats these
three raw homemade recipes were created by dr karen becker and dr judy morgan they're very easy
to make hey friends it's jess and jericho and all of the links to the recipes as well as supplements
that you need are included in the description below so the first raw recipe created by dr karen
becker that we'll look at is the adult feline boney raw chicken meal so this is a bone-in recipe
so it can only be fed raw do not cook this recipe it's also for adults only no kittens so when we
look at the ingredients we have whole raw chicken wings with skin and you're going to grind them
raw skinless chicken breasts raw chicken hearts raw beef liver raw chicken gizzards
canned sardines canned oysters so that's great a lot of different meat ingredients you have chicken
meat and bone muscle meat and then for the secreting organ you have beef liver and the
chicken gizzards is another muscle meat the sardines and oysters as she mentions here for
vitamin d and for zinc then you're going to add a couple ounces of veggies so raw zucchini raw
spinach both which should be shredded and that can add a little bit of fiber to the diet as well as
some trace nutrients and phytonutrients and antioxidants there's not a lot there's only four
ounces total so this is a very very small percent of the diet next basil for trace trace minerals
kelp for iodine and then krill oil human vitamin b or thiamin which is a b vitamin and then vitamin e
and manganese or standard process e manganese so again there are links in the description

in the description let me know in the comments what you think about this recipe so far is it easy
do you think it's too complicated i would love to know your thoughts the next raw cat food
recipe that we'll look at that was also created by dr karen becker is adult feline cooked or raw
beef meal so this one does not include bones it includes a bone replacement supplement so you
could cook this recipe if you don't want to feed raw and again this is for adult cats no kittens so
for the ingredients we have ground beef 90% lean and if you're cooking it you can buy pre-ground
beef but if you're not cooking it i would suggest buying whole and then grinding it at
home yourself beef heart beef kidney beef liver so this one includes an extra secreting organ
kidney and then for the veggies spinach finely chopped hemp seed cantaloupe and this again is
a very small percent of the diet then you're going to use carlson brand cod liver oil kelp for iodine
salt to meet sodium and chloride requirements wheat germ for manganese and zinc egg shell
powder for calcium since you're not including bones that is the bone replacement and then the
human b complex or thiamine again is a b vitamin and on both of these recipe pamphlets she tells
you the amount of kcal per recipe per ounce etc and then if you scroll down she'll give you the
amount of minerals vitamins fats and amino acids included in the full recipe this is based on aafco
and then she also includes feeding instructions so that's really easy to follow everything that you
need is right there on this sheet pamphlet give me a polydactyl thumbs up if this is helpful so far
so that more cat parents that want to make homemade raw can find this video thank you
so much the next raw cat food recipe that we'll look at is by dr judy morgan this one can also be
cooked if you prefer cooked this one does not include bone in it so you can serve it raw or
cooked so for the recipe you have one pound of chicken and she prefers to use a mix of white
and dark meat dark meat will typically have a little bit more taurine since those muscles
work harder than say the breast and leave skin on half of it because you want to include the skin
for fat chicken heart chicken liver one egg and then she also includes some veggies and fruits
kale squash and cranberries this is a very small amount one ounce one ounce one ounce compared to
one pound and five ounces two ounces and one egg and you're also going to add ground sunflower or
pumpkin seeds and that's to add some fatty acids and a little bit more fat then you're
also going to use salmon oil and this is very very important this recipe also requires supplements so
she recommends rx vitamins feline minerals and rx vitamins feline essentials so that's going
to make the diet complete and balanced and again there are links to everything in the description
